A type of communist who generally supports the Soviet Union and Stalin. Often includes support for North Korea and Maoist China as well.

In 1956, Hungary tried to leave the Soviet orbit to start its own fully independent communist state. The Marxist world was split on whether Stalin should allow this to happen, or whether he should "send in the tanks." Those who supported the latter were dubbed Tankies.

Tankies are contrasted with the modern descendants of Eurocommunism, which rejects Leninism/Stalinism in favor of a more soft-handed, humanitarian, pluralistic approach.
This tanky believes North Korea is actually a wonderful place, and that the rest of the world must be lying.

When you do something cool, difficult or impressive it would be tanky or if you’re really big and hench then you’re a tank
“Woah he’s a tank he just downed that drink in 3 seconds
“Her playlist is called crackers, that’s so tanky”.
n. A nasty cooter. A song was made about it.
I work my tanky for you, I put it down for you.
