pythagorate

to cut across the diagonal rather than follow perpendicular sides, saving distance and usually time

Those ugly brown paths are caused by students who pythagorate across the grass.

You'll save twenty miles and half an hour if you pythagorate up the turnpike instead of taking 35 and 75, you cheapskate.

Pythagoras

c. 582-c. 507 B.C.E. A Greek cosmologist who believed that numbers described the true nature of the universe. A very influential teacher, about whom many legend were written and later attatched to Jesus in the New Testament.
It is uncertain why the Pythagorean theorem is so named; it was neither Pythagoras nor his followers who discovered or even proved the rule, nor were they even particularly concerned with it in any way.
