Tangentathon 

When two people are on good cocaine and start having a competitive conversation. Constantly interrupting each other, apologizing, inhaling loudly through clogged nostrils, and then interrupting each other again while desperately attempting to tell the other person a hyper-interesting deeply personal multilayered rambling four-dimensional spiderweb of at least three unrelated stories at the same time. Each match continues for 10-30 minutes depending on the quality of the cocaine, at which point the party who does not posses the cocaine will submit and begin nodding their head agreeably until the owner of the cocaine realizes he hasn't done a line in about 20 minutes and it's time to do another line. The matches continue every until you're both out of money, concede to an mutual pyrrhic victory and vow to keep your use responsible from now on and hold each other accountable to one eight-ball per weekend. This sport is played every weekend by men around the world.
"Presidential candidate El Chapo has promised that when elected he will make the Tangentathon an Olympic sport by 2030." - Brooke Baldwin, 2028

tangentation 

a tangentation is an explanation of a situation(s) or event(s)or both but not limited to only that.it can also be about your trip to the store and what happened in your venture..perhaps you stepped on a cats tail which caused the clerk at the store to go ape on you as she was an animal activist,or the cat bit your ankle which in turn caused you to fall on a board with a nail stuck in it and it peirced your ear,which was great,because you saved so much time and money,relieved by this..you donated your proceeds to the animal activist fund in your area
ok, so perhaps that tangentation was a little far out,but really,tangentations exist everywhere and no-one has had the time to come up with a solid example of how to express what this could lead to.this word will spread like wildfire if you just start rambling on into other topics to only arrive at the original topic in which you started with!

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
