Yangle is a shortened term referring to a triangle that yawn. As many know, yawning is considered "contagious", as if one person yawns, it is proven that another person is 78% more likely to yawn. If someone in a group of three, in the case of a yangle, yawns, it is extremely likely for somebody else in the group to yawn, and again. This a continuous cycle until somebody leaves the group or resists the urge to yawn.

Other terms that are used to refer to this event but with different numbers of people include:
"Yair" - pair of people yawning
"Yaquare" - square of people yawning
"Yantagon" - a pentagon of people yawning
