It's not English.

It's US English.

There's a difference

To tank = to lose on purpose.


This is what it says:

Tanking
Usually in people with eating disorders, Tanking is drinking a large amount of water in a short time to gain weight before a weigh in.
'I've lost 2lbs, I'm going to have to do some serious tanking before my weigh in on friday.'
'She is just tanking to get out.'


"Tan king" can also have a different meaning but they wouldn't know it in the UK.

Guess when and I'll offer you the 12 months supporter package (if Pete agrees).

I want the matchID only, nothing else.

You were protecting a wizard or drinking large volumes of water?

These double meaning in English really becomes tedious.


Sorry Merp!, it has nothing to do with any sort of disorder or magic.
Losing on purpose is about strategy and tactics.

I disagree, when I ask people to explain strategy and tactics to me a blank expression crosses my face, upon seeing this they stop mid-sentence and say "magic Jonny, it's magic".

Indeed, that is it Jonny. Only when it's a win otherwise strategy and tactics magically turn into a barbaric word.

I totally understand why certain people throw away games to lose it’s the system that’s in place for teams who arent making money to be penilised with major fines lowered moral and virtually no ticket sales As well as cutting their top players I went into bankruptcy 6seasons ago and still haven’t recovered I barely scrape through a season with roughly 4-5mil profit my team is down to brassic numbers no facilities and not replacing coaches when they retire 6 seasons and I’m just getting back on my feet with my 1st ever contribution to the mediacenter

But for teams that are way advanced and tanking on purpose well that’s a different story cheaters never prosper

I get why they think he’s tanking but it doesn’t make much sense he’s just firing some coaches and selling off some players? I understand and that is what I fear is going to happen to me since I overpayed on the transfer market WAY too much

They say that if you aren't doing everything you can to win you are a tank. So the tanks that refuse to buy best players on trademark get warned and shamed and must start smoking cigarettes like the cool kids or face the wrath of Kahn.

What of the tanks that suck at their craft and win anyway? They get no love. At least we should play a sad feeling song for them like this....

It's that obvious?
Yes sir, this should erase doubt one way or other.
