Tango Sucka
Battle terminology. A term used to signal to teammates nearby that a hostile has been eliminated, interchangeable with the more familiar phrase, "tango down." Originated in Arabic speaking countries as "tango sakat," where "sakat" literally means "fell". The phrase first became an English slang, albeit in a different form, during the Persian Gulf War in 1990, presumably after hearing enemy combatants in close proximity reciting the Arabic phrase. After the engagement ceased, accounts indicated that a small number of US ground forces used the phrase "tango sucked it" in place of "tango down." When "tango sucked it" is spoken with a sense of urgency, the listener often would confuse it with "tango sucka," where "sucka" is a slang popularized by the US music industry. It is unclear when the shift occurred, but generally believed to be a gradual and localized process. Following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, accounts from battlefronts in Afghanistan, and later Iraq, spoke of a wider adoption of the phrase in place of "tango down." In 2009, the phrase was inadvertently, and possibly unknowingly, popularized by Modern Warfare 2, developed by Infinity Ward. In the game, members of the Arabic faction would announce "tango sakat" when they kill a member of the opposing force. However, the phrase sounded like "tango sucka" to the player base, majority of which spoke only English. Search "MW2 tango sucka" on YouTube for examples.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Perfect way to start my day!
Ok it’s a mug drink from it act edgy with it who cares
This was a gift for my wife. She loves it.
The custom word and design came out perfectly, and my girlfriend absolutely adored the mug; I'll absolutely consider more custom-printed cups for birthdays and other occasions in the future.
Purchased this custom mug for my teenager, and they love it! The first comment was that the coffee stayed hot longer. Solid mug and the custom text isn't wearing ff after so many uses. Will definitely buy again.
The mug looks great and hasn't faded after multiple runs through the dishwasher. It microwaves well, and the text is sufficiently unruly.
I had been looking for the translation from a Tik Tok video and found it on Urban Dictionary. I was surprised to find a coffee mug available so I ordered one. My order was processed very quickly. My mug arrived promptly and in perfect condition. Many Thanks
This mug was a Father’s Day gift for my dad, and let me tell you, it is the greatest mug ever produced by humankind. Not only does it have a simple, minimalist design on it with my father’s name, but also the witty definition on the back that perfectly describes him. While he only uses the mug to hold his pens, I’m sure it would act perfectly fine with any sort of beverage in it as well. Urban Dictionary, let my just tell you that you have sent me the finest piece of art I could have possibly asked to hand over to my dad. Thank you, and I’m sure I’ll be purchasing another one of these fine crafted mugs some time soon. To whoever is reading this, have a nice day, and enjoy your summer.
I bought this for my daughter and she absolutely loves it!
exactly what wanted, holds hot coffee excellent, am 'Hutty'!! that's funny
Used it for a family inside joke, very funny
Great mug! Customizing was great!
why i want this mug i want this mug because I LOVE JUDE :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Great as a little joke gift! But a little on the pricey side for a coffee mug. If I didn’t love the person as much as I do, I would probably never spend that amount on a normal coffee cup.
It is perfect. I purchased the mug aa a gift and the recipient loved it!
It’s so good and can hold my coffee all day long !
My favorite mug ever
Small cup printing is well done.
It's perfect. Just what I thought I would be getting. Love the definition on one side and the "phrase" on the other.
lmao n. definitely buy a sex mug
