tanking

comes from mmorpgs, where you would have a healer in your party and a person with high defense. (i.e. meat sack-o-shield warriors). the warrior rush an opponent and the monk would do their best to keep the warrior alive with healing and stat bonuses. then, the other members could
a)fight and hit hard
b)run away like scared little girls

so, in essence, it is a big distraction to open opportunites for attack or to run away, like a sacrifice but to keepp it alive.

Chaos Deity had the best plan to win by tanking the enemy patrol and having his team run away.

World of Tanks

A Free-to-Play (and not Pay-to-Win) MMO focused around... well, tanks. Red Orchestra meets World of Warcraft meets Battlefield 1942, in other words. Infamous for its bias towards Russian tanks, but otherwise a very original take on the Genre. Also has a large volume of Paper Panzers that didn't actually make production in real life. AKA "WoT"

World of Tanks proves to us that a nice 105mm round is way better than any greatsword.

Tankie

Apologists for some of humanity's most brutal regimes, including (but not limited to) the Soviet Union, China, and North Korea.

Most Tankies are hardcore Stalinists who want a totalitarian Stalinist regime established in their home country.

Tankies claim be to be left-wing politically and are (rightfully) shunned by other left-wing groups (Progressives, Socialists, Social Democrats, Anarchists, etc) due to their love of dictators.

That guy's a Tankie. He wants to replace the government with a Stalinist dictatorship and build gulags.

in the tank

expression that typically describes a card play (e.g. Texas Hold'em) who pauses and thinks about his / her next move for an unusually long time

After The Owl (with pocket kings) raised $5,000, Texas Dolly went in the tank. She eventually re-emerged and raised $10,000.
