Bermuda Triangulated

Disappeared. Vanished. Gone. Lost.

As far as I know, the term "Bermuda Triangulated" first appeared in Chuck Palahniuk's book, "Diary." Which to date (Jan. 27, 2007) is the best book I've ever read.

(An exerpt from "Diary" (Chapter) June 23, pg 6):
A woman calls from Seaview to say her linen closet is missing. Last September, her house had six bedrooms, two linen closets. She's sure of it. Now she's only got one. She comes to open her beach house for the summer. She drives out from the city with the kids and the nanny and the dog, and here they are with all heir luggage, and their towels are gone. Disappeared. Poof.
Bermuda triangulated.

(Real life example):
I had just gone over to the DJ to request "Brighter Than Sunshine" as a slow dance song for Miranda and myself. But when I got back to where we had been standing in the center circle of the gym floor she wasn't there. She had Bermuda triangulated.

Triangulation Tribe

When women you've messed around with while you had a girlfriend find out about each other, compare notes, and become friends.

He used the excuse that it wasn't "technically" cheating because they only went to "third base," but when the girls compared notes, they realized they'd all fallen for his BS and formed a triangulation tribe.

Racial Triangulation

Racial triangulation as a divide-and-conquer tactic often involves blaming one community of color for another’s problems, bribing one with resources in exchange for their participation in oppressing another, and creating narratives that cultivate mistrust between them.

An example of Racial Triangulation is when legislators created the narrative that Affirmative Action is harmful towards the Asian community in order to justify divesting it, when in reality, it actually helps all communities of color.

Musical Triangulation

The process of describing an artist to a non-listener by comparing the artist to three or more other artists. Usually done with three artists, two of which are similar to each other and the third of which is significantly different, and in the style of: "They are like (similar band #1) mixed with (similar band #2) with elements of (totally different band)"

Speaker 1: You haven't heard Sage Francis? He's like Swollen Members mixed with Sweatshop Union, with elements of Paul Simon.

Speaker 2: Dude, that's an awesome musical triangulation.

Triangulated

This term refers to the action where a Zionist terrorist is eliminated or injured by the fire of a Palestinian resistance fighter. The origin of the term is traced to Hamas combat footage during the 2023 Israel-Hamas war, where red triangles were used to mark the heads of Zionist terrorists before targeting them.

- They say Hamas triangulated a squad of the Golani Brigade with a single RPG hit.
- Sweet! Baby killers getting what they deserve.
