triangulate

Triangulation is the process by which some external stimulus provides a linkage between people and prompts strangers to talk to other strangers as if they knew each other

if a bench, a wastebasket and a telephone are placed with no connection to each other, each may receive a very limited use, but when they are arranged together ie{ triangulated }along with other amenities such as a coffee cart, they will naturally bring people together.

Triangulate

That thing that an evil mother does (especially to daughters). Typically, she had you when she was very young, she hates your biological father & sees him in you. Thusly, you are now a burden to her, & she treats you as such.

When you reach adulthood, any chance she gets to “pull the rug from underneath you”, SHE WILL TAKE IT. This is due to her anger & bitterness over your existence; ruminating on what she could’ve been/done if you hadn’t have been born.

Jealousy & envy are also an inevitable byproduct of one such miserable mother & her evil doings.

Ted: Tonia’s mother gossips about her to Tonia’s boyfriend. Tonia’s mother got her sexual predator, IT husband to break into Tonia’s phone to read her text messages. Tonia’s mother threw a temper tantrum, like a 3 year old, & blackened her own eye.

Sherman: Uh oh. Sounds like Tonia’s mother is trying to triangulate her, again. I really hope she survives.
