1 definition by Pythagoras of Samos

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.
