Tangentacide

When a person goes of on a tangent and completely destroys the conversation or atmosphere.

You are having a nice evening down the pub and you are explaining to the assembled crowd of friends something exciting or retelling an old story and you wander off on a massive tangent which at the end has either offended, confused, alienated or stunned your friends into a silence as they contemplate your mental health. Or one of your friends does that.

That is Tangentacide. Often followed by people sneaking away from the table, needing the toilet or finding out their friends are in dire trouble and they must leave.

Tangent

Going everywhere and anywhere but the line of thought you were meant to follow

English teacher: "How did you bring Ned Kelly into an essay about a book that has nothing to do with him, then finish up with a short history of cuba?"

"I may have gone off on a tangent"

Tangeman

A fat unatractive girl who is controlling and does not have any social skills. She also rapes drunk virgins at partys then pretends that she was drunk so she does not look like a rapist.

Dude the Tangeman raped Stephen at Rachels party.

Link Tangent

To click on one link and to be brought to that page, only to find another interesting link on that page and end up clicking on that. This is a common thing that happens on sites like wikipedia and imdb.

Todd got on a link tangent on wikipedia by starting to read about the Spotted Owl and ended up reading about Jackie Chan.

Bhost Tangent

When you ask Bhost something really minor and he turns it into a 40 minute long tangent that slowly saps the will to live out of everyone else present.

"Hey Bhost, what do you think of vinegar?"
"Well, I love vinegar for a variety of reasons, including...."
"Oh no. It's a bhost tangent."

tangency

A strange and bizarre world of misfits, mayhem and strangeness. Also, pie.

I spend too much time on Tangency.
