Walking Tangent

An annoying individual in his early thirties that acts like a 4 year old who is severly ADD and unable to complete a sentence. Talks in endless circles without ever making a point. Frequently jumps to a completely different topic in the middle of a statement. Very distracted like the dog in the movie "UP"....squirrel!!

Obsessed with talking about dropping a douma.

wild tangent

a meaningless, useless, retargerous detour from one's immediate goal or purpose
considering all the possible negative accompanying unattended cannonballs, please refrain from going on a wild tangent when you have a specific goal in mind that you want to achieve

Person A: "Did you ever wonder how babies are made? It seems so simple, yet so complex."

Person B: "Dude, I know what you mean. My beer bottle just broke and I don't know why. I didn't think being a drunk could be so complex."

Person A: "What the fuck are you talking about?"

Person B: "Why are beer bottles so complex, and why do they lead to the birth of unwanted children?"

Person A: "Why must you go off on such a tangentation?"

Person B: "That reminds me, I accidently threw my red shirt in with the whites."
