Of course, now we have to use "washboard" where "corrugated" is more accurate, and it takes whole sentences to define the difference between coroplast and cardboard. I used to use "Polypropylene, extruded to resemble corrugated cardboard" but the short form has gotten shorter, and the correct form, longer. Perhaps "fluted" will gain currency.
