Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "tahn" (as in "tar") + "keh" (as in "kept") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To play as the tank in a videogame, being the one who absorbs all enemy damage at the front line while your team attacks safely from behind. Tanking requires endurance, a huge health pool, and the bravery to take every single hit so your teammates do not have to.

Examples

I will tank, you guys deal the damage.

Nobody wants to tank, everyone wants to be DPS.
