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.

Shark Attack

When in preparation for intercourse have your mate, buddy whatev paint a target on their hind-end (archer style) while both hands are on a hard surface (walls are perferred). Now while you prepare yourself with your custom fitted mexican wrestler Shark mask stand 5 yards away (cause you'll want a running start) and with a highly erect penis charge. Try it a few times practice makes perfect.
