Angle of attack

1: In aerodynamics, it is the angle between the chord line of the wing of a plane and the vector which helps to identify what direction an aircraft is flying in and the amount of lift the aircraft has. Generally, the higher the angle of attack, the more lift it will have
2: In sailing, it is the angle between the sail's chord line and the direction of the oncoming wind, which will determine what direction a sailboat will travel in

3: On the battlefield, it means the direction/s the opposing force/s are coming from
4: In debates and political settings, it refers to the approach used by a politician to make and support their arguments and counter their opponent’s arguments.
Definition 3 example: The enemy troops’ angle of attack is coming from two miles, northeast of our current position.
Definition 4 example: Delegate Faleomavaega’s angle of attack consists of making an argument based on their opinions and beliefs and supporting that argument by either appealing to the needs of the people or supporting it using some relevant facts that indicate their argument is correct. To counter their opponent’s arguments, they target their opponent’s credibility by pointing out contradictions in their argument and or pointing any business or personal relationships they may suggest that individual has a conflict of interest; or the delegate points out weaknesses or misinformation in their opponent’s argument.

Operations' Special Attack

NYPD's Operations Unit usually alerts dispatch (central) of shots being fired at a specific location by utilization of ShotSpotter technology, which detects gunshots. If operations calls into Central and they don’t answer, Operations is just going to disappear. This is known as the “Operations Special Attack” because when Operations comes over the radio, everyone gets excited for a possible man with a gun call, then they disappear, making everyone more disappointed than my mother when I left her womb.
They just did an Operations' Special Attack on the Citywide 1 channel.

A panic attack

As in singular. As in in the days after the volume of people doimg what they're doing increased... I really thought this was going to progress faster.
Hym "Yeah, this is taking a lot of time. I thought this was going to go a little faster. Did you like my skit? My little 'A panic attack' skip? Justin Roiland put it in season 2 of Solar Opposites. It was dope. Highest rated episode of the season."
