tacking

When a sailboat switches back and forth, alternating which side of the boat is facing the wind. Tacking allows a boat to make progress in whichever direction the skipper wishes to go.

tacked

To be tan & jacked. Inspired from the viral video "My New Haircut" where one character uses the phrase "jacked and tan". However its use and creation originates back to the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at the University of Miami.

tacks

A word meaning something funny that you dont want everyone to know your laughing at.

If someone is getting in trouble and you want to laugh with your friends you say "tacks" out loud and laugh about that so they dont know your laughing at them.
