Reaching the Point of Tangency

The act of getting high. When you are not exactly high, you are somewhere along the tangent line.

Origin: 2011, when a black guy needed a new way to talk about getting high around administrators at Statesboro High School.
Kleever: Hey man, what are we doing tonight?
noJ: I don't know bro, let's bro rape.
Kleever: Nah man, we did that last time.
noJ: Let's reach the point of tangency!
Kleever: Way ahead of you bro, I'm somewhere along the tangent line, but soon we'll be Reaching the Point of Tangency.

Tangentialist

Someone who agrees to do something specific but becomes distracted and goes off in all directions, like Captain Wrongway Peachfuzz
He agreed to take out the trash but then he, being a tangentialist, went through the trash instead, focusing intently on each item, having decided that YOU don't know what constitutes trash, and that he needs to decide.

He micromanages by being a tangentialist, spiraling Brainiac style into the project - trouble is, he misses the target. By a country mile.

tanented

To be extremely proficient at getting an enviable suntan at the first hint of decent weather.
Jay had only been on the beach for 3 days with moderate sun exposure, but already his skin colour gave the impression that he'd been in Hawaii for a month. He was an extremely tanented sunbather.
