Tangential speech is a communication disorder in which the train of thought of the speaker wanders and shows a lack of focus, never returning to the initial topic of the conversation. It is less severe than Logorrhea and may be associated with the middle stage in dementia. It is, however, more severe than circumstantial speech in which the speaker wanders, but eventually returns to the topic. Some adults with right hemisphere brain damage may exhibit behavior that includes tangential speech. Those who exhibit these behaviors may also have related symptoms such as seemingly inappropriate or self-centered social responses, and a deterioration in pragmatic abilities (including appropriate eye contact as well as topic maintenance).
1. Penny: Oh, damn, they cancelled my Visa. Oh, yay, a new MasterCard! Sheldon: Uh-oh. Penny: What? Sheldon: I was going to 本打算 get my mail. Penny: Okay.

II. involving or using telepathy. telepathic communication. telepathy [təˈlepəθi] the ability of people to communicate directly with each other's minds, without using words )?

And no, I just wasn't sure of the proper protocol now that you and Leonard are no longer having coitus ( [ˈkəuɪtəs] the act of having sex. The coming together of male and female sex organs, sometimes in the act of sexual procreation; the male's penis is inserted into the female's vagina, usually until orgasm and ejaculation of semen occur; copulation. ). Penny: God, can we please just say no longer seeing each other? Sheldon: Well, we could if it were true. But as you live in the same building, you see each other all the time. The variable which has changed is the coitus. Penny: Okay, here's the protocol, you and I are still friends, and you stop saying coitus. Sheldon: Good, good. I'm glad we're still friends. Penny: Really? Sheldon: Oh, yes. It was a lot of work to accommodate you in my life(accommodate I. to provide a place or room for someone to stay in. Designed by an Italian architect, the hotel can accommodate 600 guests. The teams will be accommodated in luxury hotels. a. 容纳. to provide enough space for something or someone.

II. formal to consider and include something when you are deciding what to do. Your investment strategy has to be flexible enough to accommodate changes in the market. accommodate (yourself) to something 调整适应 to change your attitudes and behaviour in order to deal with a new situation.). I'd hate for that effort to have been in vain徒劳无功. Penny: Right. Sheldon: Just to be clear do I have to stop saying coitus with everyone or just you? Penny: Everyone. Sheldon: Harsh terms条款很苛刻. But all right, I'll just substitute intercourse(substitute I. [transitive] to use something new or different instead of what is normally used.

Penny: Great. Sheldon: Or fornication(fornicate to have sex with someone that you are not married to. This word shows you think this is morally wrong.). Yeah. But that has judgmental overtones批判意味, so I'll hold that in reserve(keep/hold someone or something in reserve 留做备胎, 备用 Fig. to hold back someone or something for future needs. I am holding the frozen desserts in reserve, in case we run out of cake. We are holding Sharon in reserve. Keep a few good players in reserve.). Penny: So, how you been? Sheldon: Well, my existence is a continuum( [kənˈtɪnjuəm] a series of events, changes, features etc that all have a particular quality to different degrees. a continuum that starts with minor transgressions and can end with serious criminal activity. ), so I've been what I am at each point in the implied time period. Penny: You're just coitusing with me, aren't you? Sheldon: Bazinga. Penny: Mmm. How's Leonard doing? Sheldon: He seems all right. Although he does spend a disturbing amount of time looking at photographs of you and smelling the pillow you slept on. Oh, but now that I think of it ( 想来的话. 忽然想起来. 现在想想. Now that I think of it = Now that I come to think of it = Now that I've come to think of it = Come to think of it ), he asked me not to tell you that. Penny: I'll pretend I didn't hear it. Sheldon: I'd rather you pretend I didn't say it. I see you bought Mama Italia marinara spaghetti sauce. Penny: Yep. Sheldon: That's the sauce my mother uses. She likes cooking Italian because according to her, that's what the Romans made Jesus eat. Penny: Interesting. I'll have to have you over for spaghetti some night. Sheldon: I'm hungry now. Penny: Oh. Um, okay. Why don't you give me an hour and come over? Sheldon: Will you cut up hot dogs into little chunks and mix them in with the sauce? Penny: I don't have hot dogs. Sheldon: Oh, it's all right, I do. Oh! You're in for(You are in for a treat, she's very sweet, I'm telling you.) what my mother calls a real Eye-talian treat. (Enters apartment). Leonard: Hey, where you been? Sheldon: I was talking with Penny. Howard: What's wrong with you? You can't hang out with your roommate's ex. That's totally uncool. Leonard: No, no, it's fine. I don't care. I'm over it. Raj: Yeah, he's over it, that's why he's been whining all day about trying to invent that memory-wiper gizmo from Men in Black. Sheldon: Is he making any progress? Because I'd like to erase Ben Affleck as Daredevil (someone who does dangerous things for enjoyment and does not worry about the risk.). Howard: So would Ben Affleck. The point is, in a situation like this you got to pick sides. You're either on Team Leonard or Team Penny. Sheldon: Which one picks last? Howard: What? Sheldon: Well, usually I'm on the team that picks last. Unless there's a kid in a wheelchair. Leonard: Sheldon, I got you your tangerine ( a fruit similar to a small orange but with loose skin that is more easily removed. The tangerine is an orange-colored citrus fruit that is closely related to the mandarin orange. ) chicken. I hope you're hungry. Sheldon: Well, of course I'm hungry. And as I have no plans to eat with any other team, I will consume my tangerine chicken with the appropriate gusto ( gusto [ˈɡʌstəu] with gusto 热情洋溢的, 激情四射的, 热切的, 带着热情, 充满激情的 if you do something with gusto, you do it with a lot of enthusiasm. The orchestra played with great gusto.). Mm, mm, mm! Leonard: Okay. Sheldon: Just out of curiosity, do we still have hot dogs? Leonard: I don't know. Why? Sheldon: Just making dinner conversation. Go, Team Leonard! 2. Howard: Oh, God, this is good. Raj: Let me ask you a question. Do you believe you're going to go to hell for eating sweet and sour pork? Howard: Jews don't have hell. We have acid reflux. Leonard: Do you want the last dumpling, Sheldon? Sheldon: Certainly. It's not like I have to moderate my food intake 控制饮食 because I'm planning on eating again very shortly. Mm, mm, mm! Leonard: So, you guys want to do something tonight? Howard: Nah, I can't. I got to pick up my mom from her water aerobics class. 18 overweight women flapping their arm fat in a swimming pool. Looks like the manatee tank (Manatees are large, fully aquatic, mostly herbivorous marine mammals sometimes known as sea cows. ) at Sea World. Leonard: What about you, Raj? Raj: Oh, there it is, now that you don't have a girlfriend, you want to hang out with me again. Leonard: I never stopped hanging out with you. Raj: Oh, please, we all know I'm the friend you call when you have no other options. If we were the Justice League, I'd be Aquaman. Howard: I wish you were Aquaman. Then I could send you to scoop my mom out of the old lady tank. Sheldon: Excuse me, I'm thirsty, so I'm going to go to the refrigerator and get myself a refreshing beverage. Leonard: You know what? I'll just spend the evening alone. Raj: What, suddenly I'm not good enough for you? Sheldon: Ah, I do so love beverages. Now I think I'll take my after-dinner walk. Leonard: Since when do you take after-dinner walks? Howard: Yeah, since when do you take walks? Sheldon: I read a study online that walking after a meal not only aids in digestion, but increases serotonin, and you know me, if there's one thing I like more than a refreshing beverage, it's serotonin. Bye-bye. Howard: Hold on. I'll walk down with you. Sheldon: Oh, that's not necessary. You can go first. Howard: Or we could go together. Sheldon: I can't think of a reason why not. Howard: Let's go. Sheldon: Hold on. Nope, no reason. Raj: I've missed you. 3. Sheldon: All right, say hello to your mother for me. Howard: Okay. Sheldon: What? Howard: You said you were going for a walk. Sheldon: I didn't say outside. Howard: So what, you're just gonna walk up and down the stairs? Sheldon: No, of course not. That would be odd and suspicious behavior. Howard: Which way are you going? Sheldon: Which way are you going? Howard: I parked my scooter down the block. Sheldon: I'm going the other way. Bye. Howard: Bye. Actually, I'm this way. Do I smell 闻到 hot dogs? Sheldon: No. I mean, I have no idea what you smell. Howard: I definitely smell raw hot dog. Sheldon: Perhaps you're getting a brain tumour. Howard: All right, have a nice walk. Sheldon: I shall. Have a nice scoot. Howard: You might want to stand back. I'm sitting on top of 13 horses here. Sheldon: Oh. Hello, doggie. Nice doggie. I bet you think you smell hot dogs. Look, a cat! 4. Sheldon: (Knock, knock, knock) Penny, (knock, knock, knock) Penny. (Long pause, knock, knock, knock) Penny. (Penny opens door. A dishevelled ( dishevelled /dɪˈʃev(ə)ld/ if you are dishevelled, your hair and clothes do not look tidy. ) Sheldon is holding up one hot dog.) Here. I had to trade the others for my life. 5. Raj: Hey, Leonard? Leonard: Yeah? Raj: I haven't had sex in a year. Leonard: Where you going with this, Raj? Raj: Don't flatter yourself, dude. I want to go out and meet a woman. Leonard: So, go. Raj: Well, I need a wingman. I don't want to come off like a lonely loser. Leonard: And you think my presence will help with that? Raj: Well, I do. Next to you, I'll look like a catch. Leonard: I'm not going out tonight, Raj. Raj: All right. Would you mind if I went to your room and downloaded some Asian pornography? Leonard: Very much. Raj: Doesn't have to be Asian. Leonard: Don't worry. You'll meet a girl someday. Raj: No, I won't. Leonard: Yes, you will, and she'll be beautiful, and kind and sexy and funny and everything you ever wanted in a woman. Raj: You really think so? Leonard: I do, and you'll fall hopelessly in love and give her your heart. And she'll take it and grind it into pathetic, little pieces. Raj: But we'll have sex first, right? 6. Sheldon: Mmm, mmm, mmm. That's Eye-talian. Penny: So, um, was Leonard okay with you coming over? Sheldon: Oh, yes. In fact, he said, I'm fine, I don't care. And he in no way said it in a manner which would lead one to believe that he was covering up feelings of anguish and betrayal. Penny: Well, good. Sheldon: I'm also pleased to report that he's all cried out over you. Penny: He's been crying? Sheldon: Oh, I believe that was something else I wasn't supposed to mention. Penny: Oh, God, I feel terrible. Sheldon: Do you have a stomach ache, too? Penny: No. Why, do you? Sheldon: No. Penny: Why did you ask if I had one, too? Sheldon: Just making polite dinner conversation. Your turn. Penny: All right. So, what's new in your life? Sheldon: Well, my new shoes are not made for running. Penny: Have you been running? Sheldon: No. It's just a suspicion I have只是那么觉得, 只是怀疑. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Penny: I'm so glad you like it. Sheldon: I do. Leonard never cooks for me. Penny: Well, maybe that's 'cause Leonard can't cook. Sheldon: You can't cook and you made me this. Penny: Whatever. Ooh, I'm gonna get the cheesecake out of the fridge. Sheldon: Oh, Lord, I'm in Jewish hell. 7. Raj: Look at this. Do you think she's really doing that or is it PhotoShop? Leonard: I'm pretty sure Martha Stewart never got naked with a room full of big, fat Japanese guys. Raj: You don't know that. Prison changes people. Leonard: Hey, where you been? Sheldon: I told you, walking. Leonard: For an hour and a half? Sheldon: I got lost. Leonard: How could you get lost? Your phone has GPS. Sheldon: Satellites are down. Solar flares(A solar flare is a sudden flash of brightness observed over the Sun's surface or the solar limb, which is interpreted as a large energy release of up to 6 × 10²⁵ joules of energy.). Raj: There are no solar flares right now. Sheldon: Yes, there are. Raj: Dude, I'm an astrophysicist. If there were solar flares, I'd be all up in it. Sheldon: I'm sorry. I misspoke说错了. What I meant to say was my battery died. Leonard: What the hell was that about? Raj: I don't know. Do you think this is really Hillary Clinton doing it with Oprah? Leonard: Oh, we really need to get you a girl. 8. Sheldon: (Knock, knock, knock) Leonard, (knock, knock, knock) Leonard, (knock, knock, knock) Leonard. Leonard: Oh, just come in! Sheldon: Thanks for seeing me on such short notice. Leonard: What do you want, Sheldon? Sheldon: Maybe this isn't a good time. Leonard: Tell me why you woke me up or I swear to God I will kill you. Sheldon: Do you really think death threats are an appropriate way to begin this conversation? Sometimes your lack of social skills astonishes me. Leonard: What do you want? Sheldon: You may want to sit down. Leonard: I'm in bed! Sheldon: Point taken明白你的意思了. You may want to sit up. Leonard: Sheldon! Sheldon: I've been seeing Penny behind your back. Leonard: Okay, when you say seeing Penny, what exactly does that mean? Sheldon: We had dinner last night. She made me spaghetti with little hot dogs cut up in it. Well, little hot dog. I gave up the other five hot dogs to a real dog. A real, big dog. A hell hound. Tangential to the primary story. How about I circle back to it? Leonard: Fine. Why did you have dinner with Penny? Sheldon: I told you, she made spaghetti with little hot dogs. I like spaghetti with little hot dogs. Leonard: Then why did you have Chinese food with us? Sheldon: I didn't want to upset you. Howard made it very clear that my allegiance should be to male comrades before women who sell their bodies for money. Leonard: Is it possible he said Bros before Hos? Sheldon: Yes, but I rephrased it to avoid offending the hos. Leonard: Sheldon, I don't care if you want to be friends with Penny. Sheldon: Oh. Well, so the emotional turmoil that's been keeping me from achieving REM sleep was entirely unjustified? Leonard: Yes. Sheldon: Well then as my meemaw would say, looks like we butchered a pig, but nobody wanted bacon. Leonard: I guess not. Sheldon: And now, as promised, the tangent. Sheldon and the Hell Hound, or How I Lost My Hot Dogs. 9. Penny: Oh, um, I, I can come back. Leonard: D-don't be silly. We're neighbours, we're going to run into each other, may as well get used to it(used for suggesting something when you cannot think of anything better to do. We may as well go home. There's nothing more to do. May as well and might as well have exactly the same meaning.). Penny: Yeah, I guess you're right. Leonard: You used to it yet? Penny: Nope. Leonard: Me neither(Suppose your friend says "I didn't like that movie" or "I don't want to go home yet". Your response could be the formal "Nor I"/"Neither do I". But colloquial usage would often be either "I don't either" OR the simple "Me neither". The point is this. Since you are communicating a NEGATIVE idea, you should include a negative form. "Neither do I", "Nor do I", "Nor I", "I don't* either" and "Me neither" ALL do so. So does another alternative that may help this discussion -- "Not me, either." (This last form, however, is a bit more likely to be used when me IS the object.) So what about "me either"? Well, you do now find that form in American English. Though I do not recommend it, I would not worry about it too much. I believe it began as an abbreviated form of "Not me, either".). Oh, Sheldon seemed think that I would be upset about you hanging out with him. But I just want you to know it's fine. Penny: Oh, oh, good, because, um, his mother called me. Leonard: His mother? Penny: Yeah, she wants me to take him shopping for sheets and towels. Leonard: I was going to do that. Penny: Oh, well, then you, you do it. Leonard: No, I don't want to do it. You can do it. Penny: Okay, you can take him for shoes. Leonard: I just took him for shoes. Penny: Well, all I know is he says they hurt his feet. Leonard: Fine. I'll take him for shoes next Saturday. Penny: Oh, no, no, no, a bunch of us from work are going to Disneyland next Saturday and Sheldon wants to come. Leonard: You're taking him to Disneyland? Penny: Well, he heard me making plans on the phone. Was I going to say no? Leonard: All right. But let me know if you're going to stuff him with junk food. I don't want to bring home a nice dinner for him and see it go to waste. Penny: We're going to Disneyland. He's going to eat junk food. Leonard: All I'm saying is give me a heads-up提前打个招呼, 提前告知一下. Penny: Okay, whatever. Leonard: And don't let him go on Space Mountain after he eats. He'll say he can handle it, but I promise you'll end up with churro puke on your shoes(A churro, sometimes referred to as a Spanish doughnut, is a fried-dough pastry—predominantly choux—based snack. ). Penny: All right, got it. Is there anything else? Leonard: Yeah, don't let Goofy near him. He'll have nightmares and I'll have to deal with it. Penny: What's the problem with Goofy? Leonard: Wish I knew. He's fine with Pluto.10. Raj: Hey, do you think the elastic woman in The Incredibles needs to use birth control or can she just be a diaphragm( /ˈdaɪəfræm/ I. medical the large muscle between your lungs and your stomach that helps you breathe
Thesaurus entry for this meaning of diaphragm. II. medical a round rubber object that a woman puts inside her vagina as a contraceptive (=to avoid having a baby). III. science a piece of equipment that changes sound into electrical signals and electrical signals into sound, for example in a telephone receiver. )? Howard: Well, that's it. We're officially out of things to talk about. Penny: We're home. Leonard: It's ten o'clock, where have you been? Sheldon: We stayed for the California Adventure water show. It was pure Disney magic. Leonard: I was going to see that with him. Penny: How was I supposed to know that我怎么知道? Sheldon: It's all right. I'll see it again with you. Leonard: And I have food here. You said you were going to call. Penny: I know, I know. Sheldon: I can still eat. Penny: No, you already threw up once. Go put on your PJs and brush your teeth. Sheldon: Okay, but just don't fight. Leonard: We're not fighting. Penny: Just go. Leonard: Aren't you going to thank Penny for taking you to Disneyland? Sheldon: Thank you, Penny. Penny: You're welcome, sweetie. Leonard: Want a cup of coffee? Penny: Oh, um, I should probably get going. Leonard: Come on. It's just a cup of coffee. Penny: Yep, okay. Howard (to Raj, who has whispered to him): Oh, yeah, the whole thing seems a little twisted to me, too. Leonard: What am I smelling? Penny: Sheldon's churro on my shoes. Penny: He's such an angel when he's asleep. Leonard: Yeah. Shame he has to wake up. Penny: I think we can do it. Leonard: Smother Sheldon in his sleep? Wouldn't that be wrong? Penny: No, be friends. You and me. Leonard: Oh. Sure. Absolutely. Penny: Good. I'm glad. Leonard: Here's an idea. I'm just throwing it out there, friends who have sex. Penny: Good night, Leonard. Leonard: Kidding. Just a couple of friends goofin' around. Sheldon (in his sleep): No, Goofy, no.
