Magnetic tape, commonly referred to as just tape, is very thin plastic tape coated across the length of it with a magnetic substance. For example, it could be coated with iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) or chromium dioxide (CrO₂). Both of these formulas were used in the compact cassette, or cassette tape, a format that stored audio signals on this magnetic tape, running past stationary tape heads at a speed of 1.875 inches per second. Magnetic tape was also used on video recording formats such as VHS, Video2000, and Betamax. It is also used in the high-end recording market, and there it is called reel-to-reel tape.
Tape can also be used as a slang term for recording something on tape (For an example, see below)

As if you put sticky cum onto clear and thin paper. One of the strongest and most important parts of the human world.
“Hey I heard your truck broke down.”
“My life is devoid of any emotion, my family hates me, nobody can hear my true feelings and I want it to end, my entire life has lead to failure and I can’t deal with this anymore.”

A code word for when you want to call someone a dick or tell someone in the room that someone else is being a dick but you don’t really want the “dick” to know it’s them. And it’s tape, because you wish you could tape their mouth shut because they are being SUCH A DICK
Tom (to Amy, in a meeting): I don't really care because your proposed solution doesn't address the real problem.
Jaime (to Michelle): Hey, can you pass the tape?
