A military assault vechle used to destroy things it is mounted with a cannon loaded with 35mm shells also normaly tanks are mounted with a 50 calibur machine gun and 3 soldiers fit inside. (english, and american tanks fit 3 an israel tank normally fits 2 as they only controll Gps and The cannon an israely tank does not have a mounted 50 calibur machine gun) Also tanks can be used for escorts in very serious situations of war A.K.A the 9/11 that sparked the war between America And Iraq the convoys of soldiers may be escorted by 2 humvees with 50 calibur machine guns / recoil rifles and a tank in some situations of serious gun fire

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.
Nerdwithnorealworldskills20008 is tanking! Hey put your hex spells on that him so we can mow him down with our +98 damage wind avenger blade spells! Pass the cheese wizz and graham crackers Bill!

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.

An exclamatory remark of a gamer when he blows a guys head off in any shooter game, or what happens to my friend lance when he plays me at halo 3.

A much stronger player would be inclined to First hit a monster and let themselves take Damage, While a Much lower level Attacks and Kills it, (i.e Gaining all the exp)
