2. To add little floating 2's to numbers, smash them together, then just take the little floating 2's away

Language of Origin: Girominian

Mr. Giromini pointed out in class today that it is a pain to say, "Now use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the final side of the triangle," and he realized that there should be a verb to do the trick. "Oh, just pythagut!" is easier and more fun. He also points out that there is no direct object in the previous exclamation; to say, "Oh, just pythag it!" is an incorrect usage. It can be argued that the term's origin has something to do with direct objects, but today this construction is blatantly wrong. The verb is regular in the present tense:

I pythagut, you pythagut, he/she/it pythaguts (archaic form: pythagsut), we pythagut, they pythagut.

It it also mostly regular in other tenses; the participles are pythaguting and pythaguted.
