It takes two to tango

From a popular song by Pearl Bailey in the early 1950's.
A dishonest, shady person, or scam artist who has found his mate, who complements each other's undesireable behaviour.
Don't blame him only for cheating the old woman out of her money, his wife helped. It takes two to tango.

Tango

Is a joint rotation system.
While 2+ people are sharing a joint, one of the participants may call tango. In that case each one of the participants takes 2 hits and passes the joint to the next participant (clockwise for us old-fashioners).

Derived from the tango dance. Since it takes two to tango.
It's also thought to be the most efficent method to rotate a joint.
Let's make it friendly.. let's tango
