tangoed
Popularised in the mid-1990s by television commercials for soft drink Tango, a British equivilent of Fanta. The original commercials featured an obese man painted orange who would tap Tango drinkers on the shoulders as they sipped the beverage. As they turned around in surprise he would slap them in the face simultaneously with both hands then disappear. The narrator woudl then proclaimed "you know when you've been tangoed!". The commercial was such a success that they continued with a host of other characters, including a Napoleon-like figure with a wobbly orange hand who would wobble it in people's faces before the catch phrase. These commercials helped make Tango Europe's number one orange soda during the 1990s. The term 'tangoed' is now used to mean shocked or insulted.

you've been tangoed
(inf. phrase) In reference to the bumming scene in the 1973 Bertolucci movie "Last Tango In Paris" and the popular 1990s TV commercials for the soft drink "Tango" - when you've just shot your creamy load up a bird's arse, this phrase makes the perfect accompaniment to a post-coital cigarette, all the more poignant if you have used butter or Tango as lube.
Me: Was that Cadbury canal cruise good for you too?
Bumslut: (crying) No! It was horrible and painful, and it's all sticky because of the cum, butter and Tango!
Me: Unlucky, bumslut - You've Been Tangoed!
Bumslut: (crying) No! It was horrible and painful, and it's all sticky because of the cum, butter and Tango!

Tangled The Series
Literally the best TV show in the fucking world. It's got everything you could ever want. It's got memorable and beltable for years songs that will get stuck in your head no matter what, an amazing storyline that mixes the main plot with other side quests too that just make the whole thing flow amazingly, amazing new and pre-existing characters with great development, arcs and motivations and plenty of surprises that this show packs in effortlessly. The show has a very different style of animation that still works completely. Whenever you hear the name of the show you just can't help but get nostalgic. It's so sad that it's over we all need to pay tribute to this amazing, life-changing show that brought joy to so many. Rest in peace, Tangled The Series. Rest in peace.
