Tankslapper is when a car has sudden oversteer due to many different conditions depending on suspension or drivetrain setup.
One possible origin for the word is old WW2 tank crew vetetans taking careers as racing drivers during 1950s and dubbing the natural effect of inertia as a "tankslapper" as the weight of a tank usually centered around the rear due to storing ammunition.

When someone thinks that you fancy them, yet you ignore it and pretend you like them, yet slag them off behind their back with something extreme yet likley, damaging their street cred and chances of having sex with anyone in the future.
