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.
