youtube tangent

1. When you keep watching more videos from the "related videos" section until you realize that you're watching videos completely unrelated to what you started watching

2. The very minor connection between two otherwise unrelated youtube videos

Steve: I found a cool video explaining the debt crisis while watching videos of Will Ferrell's Bush impression from SNL.

Greg: That's one hell of a youtube tangent.

Tangent Theory

The sending and receiving of similar brain waves with another. These invisible signals are incomprehensible to humans but are closest compared to 'tangents' in time and space and contribute to people thinking the same thing as others.

'Ashlinn picked up the phone to decide to call her sister Shaunnagh but as she began to dial her number, Shaunnagh was ringing her' - This can be explained by tangent theory

Tangent Line

Mathematically speaking, a tangent line to a curve is a line which would coincide with the stream of piss you would create if you were trying to pee on a toilet that was shaped like said curve, at 3 am while trying not to make noise.

-Okay kids, does anyone have any questions regarding tangent lines?
-Yea I don't get it.
-Then get the fuck out of my class you little cunt.

wild tangent

a meaningless, useless, retargerous detour from one's immediate goal or purpose

considering all the possible negative accompanying unattended cannonballs, please refrain from going on a wild tangent when you have a specific goal in mind that you want to achieve

Walking Tangent

An annoying individual in his early thirties that acts like a 4 year old who is severly ADD and unable to complete a sentence. Talks in endless circles without ever making a point. Frequently jumps to a completely different topic in the middle of a statement. Very distracted like the dog in the movie "UP"....squirrel!!

Obsessed with talking about dropping a douma.

What is Scott talking about now?!?!
Nobody ever knows what he is saying, he's a walking tangent!
