Cinder blocks are anisotropic, they are stronger in one orientation than another. A pier block is a frustum -- a truncated pyramid or battered cube. They can be had plain or with tabs bolts or slots in the top.

What is the correct way of saying "I am sorry your mom died. Are you using those concrete blocks?"
"Sorrowful for your loss, not my fault. She has no pier, I'm taking it."
