Belligerent Pythagoreans 

Belligerent Pythagoreans — a term that makes you rejoice that disaffected DOMESTIC TERRORIST do poorly in school and generally speaking work alone.

The most effective way of using automatic and semiautomatic machine gunfire is by creating interlocking fields of fire to maximize body count. This can be easily done with two people but — THE MORE THE MAYHEM-ier. The effect of interlocking triangular fire is to literally drive individuals into another field of fire when fleeing.

Automatic weapons tend to “ride up” and the firing application has to be slightly different from a long weapon. At least that’s what YouTube videos say.

What do I know?
Instructor teaching faculty and staff during an active shooter preparedness class/drill:

“Now your worst nightmare is a team of Belligerent Pythagoreans with automatic weapons attacking your playground or your auditorium.”

Confused teacher:

Could you please translate “ Belligerent Pythagoreans” into “civilian”?

Instructor teaching faculty and staff during an active shooter preparedness class/drill:

Yes. What I mean by that is two DOMESTIC TERRORIST, who did well in school, who work together to create interlocking fields of fire, based on the theory of plane geometry.

Confused teacher:

So you’re saying that we’re — relatively speaking — safe, right?

Pythagorean Theorem 

The only geometric theorem that will be used in the real world, primarily by tall people figuring out the best way to sleep in short people beds and TV manufacturers trying to find the largest possible number to put on the box.
Student 1: The pythagorean theorem is actually useful!
Student 2: Really? What's the pissgoreporn theorem?
Student 1: I don't fucking know!

pythagorize 

to cut across the diagonal rather than follow perpendicular sides, saving distance
Those ugly brown paths are caused by students who pythagorize across the grass.

You'll save twenty miles and half an hour if you pythagorize up the turnpike instead of taking 35 and 75.

pythagorate 

to cut across the diagonal rather than follow perpendicular sides, saving distance and usually time
Those ugly brown paths are caused by students who pythagorate across the grass.

You'll save twenty miles and half an hour if you pythagorate up the turnpike instead of taking 35 and 75, you cheapskate.

Pythagorean Theorem 

The Pythagorean Theorem states that if Pedestrian A attempts to cross in front of car B at anything less than a 90 degree perpendicular angle, we can conclude that Pedestrian A is getting cut off.
"John (the model citizen) used the Pythagorean Theorem to determine it was faster to cross the road in a straight line, rather than diagonally."

screw this sin, cos, tan crap... pythagoras what did you dooooo

Pythagoras 

c. 582-c. 507 B.C.E. A Greek cosmologist who believed that numbers described the true nature of the universe. A very influential teacher, about whom many legend were written and later attatched to Jesus in the New Testament.
It is uncertain why the Pythagorean theorem is so named; it was neither Pythagoras nor his followers who discovered or even proved the rule, nor were they even particularly concerned with it in any way.
