tanking

A super nerd word for "the guy taking all the damage in a mmorpg game" Think total dumbfuck that has no spell casting ability and can swing a giant axe so he moronically runs in front of everyone like a big tank.

tanking

In a classroom/graded setting, one relies on the current postitive status of their grade, using it as a buffer in hopes to get to the end of the grading period doing little or no work with mild to no consequence.

Similar to how a tank in an MMO can rely on buffs to stay alive in a mob, a mob being in this case either a class or a giant-ass homework load.

tanking

Thinking in absolute isolation, without any visual or aural aids, influences or clues. Usually done in a special isolation tank, developed by John Lilly, where the tanker lies naked and alone for long periods of time. Such process might interest biologists, writers and psilosophers.
Watch Ken Russell's film "Altered States" for a great take on the subject.

1: To take a shit in the tank of a toilet. Ususally done on the day you move out, or at the house of someone you hate.

2: To fill the toilet tank with 20+ packs of jello.
I'm tanking the toilet, so we can leave right after.
