Tangent

Noun: A completely and utterly worthless computer company that sells blocks a shit, aka laptops, to college students. The company attempts to conceal their horrible product by including "exclusive" university features. What they don't tell you is that you can by a laptop for over $1,000 cheaper that is better performance-wise, and those exclusive programs are free from the university website.

Can also be used to reference a worthless piece of crap, or a dick move.

Student 1: "Wow, this is the fifth time in a month I've taken my Tangent computer in. What a piece of shit."
Student 2: "You should fake an accident to your computer and get the warranty money. Buy something better."

Kid 1: "My car broke down again."
Kid 2: "What a fucking Tangent."

Kid 1: "Dude, Tangent move..."
Kid 2: "My bad."

Research Tangent

Research Tangent: digressing suddenly from one topic of discussion to run to the nearest internet source in order to thoroughly research information either to: (A) reinforce a particular point or (B) attempt to relieve oneself from ignorance. Can be either directly or indirectly relevant.

... a trend that is sweeping the nation! Because knowledge is power!

Example: She totally went off on a research tangent in the middle of a movie last night when she wasnโ€™t sure if sodium thiopental was the same as sodium pentothal.

search tangent

When using an online search engine, you see something more interesting that causes you to follow trails unrelated to what you came to search for. Sometimes you forget what you meant to look up in the first place.

Pete: Did you find those instructions on how to make functional battle spears from old rake handles?

Me: Uh, no. Sorry. I went on a search tangent and forgot. But check out these pix of Britney.
