When you are taunted for being left out of a conversation about an approach to a problem or issue. For instance, if you are jockeying a bunch of horses and you do not make it out to the local chain restaurant or bar and subsequently
miss out on a crucial conversation about the geldings. You are therefore approach the
race at a disengaged
angle.
(In an address to the disengaged) "you should be around here because you
know what there is a lot of information being passed and you're missing it and I
don't want you to be at a disengaged
angle."
