      When you know the dimensions of the legs of a right triangle but not the tangent of the angle opposite the height, you have to utilize the formula “height = tangent(ϴ) * width”.

      Its the HAWK TUAH rule.

      • Height
      • And
      • Width
      • Known,
      • Tangent
      • Unknown,
      • Apply
      • H / W = tan(ϴ)

      Hauk Tuah was a pharaoh, little is known about him due to much of the writings documenting his short existence have been lost. However the few writings surviving indicates he spat on criminals’ thang as a form of punishment which was considered worse that death, and one person during his short period in power have convinced him to spit on a thang belonged to a man who wrongdoed him, thus the saying “Hauk Tuah, spit on his thang!”

        Oh, okay. Interesting. Do you have an idea of why the internet cares so much? Considering most of us have been lubricating penises with our saliva for hundreds of thousands of years.

    Don’t assume that I’ve heard of anything. For all I know the creator of this meme coined the phrase(?) “hawk tuah”.
