... I'm not sure "90ยฐ" means what you think it means... ๐ ๐ถ
edit: Apologies, I'd assumed it was a compound phrase and not a janky one โ as in, "opposite direction and also uphill" (therefore, 180ยฐ) rather than "describing a vertical surface as an incline". My bad. ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
It does though...
He's using it as in a gradient of a hill
A perpendicular surface is not a hill. ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
He said almost 90 so yeah it could be, but it's clearly expressive hyperbole
