Examples

In his song "Triad" ( "Why can't we go on as three?"), David Crosby offered the ménage à trois as a possible happy remedy for the triangularization that seems to be to love what hoof-and-mouth disease is to cattle (to employ an analogy that any cowgirl can understand).

Pastorjim commented on the word triangularization
the word triangularization was used in a sermon. The word was meant to represent gossiping. By gossiping you creat a triangle of communication where one person repeats to another what someone else has said without going to the original source. Ex. Jeff told Sue what Mary said about Bob and Sue repeated what Jeff said to Arron. You now have a triangularization of a conversation.

qms commented on the word triangularization
Compare with triangulation, a term recently popular in politics. It means the finding of a “third” or “middle” way. It is most closely associated with the Clinton administration and it implies either a willingness to compromise or an abandonment of principle, depending on your point of view. The usage examples at triangulation are instructive.
