n^2 - n + n - 1
Why does my vagina always itch so badly after my periods?
(n - 1)(n + 1)

The basic answer is that you cross-multiply the values in each factor:
The LAX/Metro Transit Center is opening today—here’s what you need to know - Time Out

The more direct answer is to look at a rectangle with sides of n + 1 and n - 1, let’s go with n = 2

So, that’s a rectangle with sides 2 and 4.

Move the nub up to the top:
n^2 - 1
And you are left with almost a square. One less than the square of side n.
How likely is it to make a living out of being a window cleaner in a Nordic country?
If you cut off the end of that rectangle, you make it smaller, 2 * 3 and a separate nub of size 1 * 2
