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 coulda)fight and hit hard b)run away like scared little girlsso, in essence, it is a big distraction to open opportunites for attack or to run away, like a sacrifice but to keepp it alive.



tanking
In reference to Magic: The Gathering gameplay. tanking is the act of "going into the tank" coming from 'think tank'. a player "in the tank" is considering their next line of play.
Example:
My magic online opponent has been tanking for several minutes now. I'm not sure what he could come out with to save him.


tanking
In dotA, using your hero to absorb enemy damage.

Effective when pushing, a tanker can absorb large amounts of damage while the rest of the team can focus on killing the enemy heroes.
Example:
Pudge: Look at the lvl 1 fv tanking those creeps. What a nub.
Faceless Void: stfu fattie, b0w dwn! 11! one!

later...

Faceless Void: 1 HoT and 2 Butterflies. I'm a tank.
Pudge: I'm so damn fat.


tanking
Tanking is the act of going as fast as you can.

The meaning comes from riding mopeds, which are typicaly a slow form of transport. To get them to go faster, a rider can reduce their profile and improve their aerodynamics by laying flat on the fuel tank; "tanking it".
Example:
"You got here quickly, didn't you?"

"Yeah, I was tanking it all the way"


tanking
When a sports team loses on purpose. Usually done at the end of the season to secure a better draft pick for next year.
Example:
Guy1: Man, this team sucks.
Guy2: Yeah, but their tanking anyway to get the 1st overall draft pick next year.


tanking
A super nerd word for "the guy taking all the damage in a mmorpg game" Think total dumbfuck that has no spell casting ability and can swing a giant axe so he moronically runs in front of everyone like a big tank.
Example:
Nerdwithnorealworldskills20008 is tanking! Hey put your hex spells on that him so we can mow him down with our +98 damage wind avenger blade spells! Pass the cheese wizz and graham crackers Bill!


tanking
In a classroom/graded setting, one relies on the current postitive status of their grade, using it as a buffer in hopes to get to the end of the grading period doing little or no work with mild to no consequence.

Similar to how a tank in an MMO can rely on buffs to stay alive in a mob, a mob being in this case either a class or a giant-ass homework load.
Example:
Augh, fuck IB Chemistry. I'm tanking it.
