Taylor Hollowell Tangent

While in the process of explaining something or in the middle of a conversation you drift off into a crazy tangent explaining it in excruciating detail to the point that you forget what you were talking ab...out in the first place.

Synonyms: ADHD, Taylor's way of confusing girls to sleep with him, Rambling, Beyond the point of Boredom, Taylor's #1 hobbie

Happy Birthday buddy, just wanted to make you feel special by making you famous by giving you your own phrase cause buying a star and naming it after you is too cliche, stars did you know that there is an infinite amount of stars in the sky, the light that we do see from the stars can be blocking stars that are even farther away or are being blocked to our vision by a star that is closer to us, sorry what was I talking about again? I just went on a Taylor Hollowell tangent.

Random Ass Tangent

A wildly off-topic question or statement that occurs with no warning. Most often seen when people are drunk.

In a bar drinking shots watching sports on big screens, "you know man, I like turtles", "man that is such a random ass tangent!"

Tangent Trap

When an offhand comment said during conversation has danger of derailing the whole thing into talking about an entirely different topic.

Usually controversial, lures you in like bait then diverts your attention. It gets worse in group discussions.

Desmond: “So Eastside college is better because you get to choose what you wanna do of your own free will”

Isaac: “But what is ‘free will’ really? Does anyone really have it?”

Michael: “I dunno if you think about how we make decisions, they could already be determined by subconscious out of our control”

Desmond: “True, just because you feel like you’re choosing-”

Adé: “-NO! STOP! Don’t fall for the Tangent Trap! We were talking about good colleges.”

Desmond: “Oh yeah! I forgot”
