It is an alteration of the phrase "p*t*ng ina mo", meaning "m*therf*cker" or "your mother is a prostitute." Obviously it is some sort of curse. It is used to make fun of people who do not know Filipino language.

Put tank in a mall is a word play. It is originally a Filipino foul word (phrase) "putang ina mo" which literally means "your mom's a whore". Put tank in a mall is often used in DOTA2 when Filipinos are asked to speak in English.
