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
Great present for a retiring colleague with custom saying she's known for!
Loved this mug! So unique and you can edit the text to add something unique.
I gave it to my friend who took money from me and never returned.
I love the fact that I was able to customize my name since I've never been able to find anything with my name. The only downside is it's smaller than I thought it would be (I guess I didn't pay much attention to that), wish it was bigger, only about 10 oz total.
It's simply awesome; and plus, the word means a lot.
Really fast and looks great! Took a chance on Christmas gift and it was a success!
Awesome mug feels really nice good weight and color although I think the shade could be a little brighter when it comes to the highlighter yellow, I am still pleased with the outcome and the fact that a whole passage was so neatly printed onto the product, very pleased with the packaging too! That made it so easy to wrap just in time for Christmas. Who knew!!
okay so the mug was mid but when you have a genz meme and give it to one of the most serious people you know then it's pretty funny
Nice mug, great feel‼️
Perfect!
Good quality ceramic cup! Worth the novelty price!
Perfect gift for my gf
Looks great! Came quick
Gave it to my nerd brother. He used it consume liquid
Love it
as a fan of non-Z-generation-UD (since 2000 more or less) , especially of old-school definitions ("phat!") (as Nick, the more time passes by, the more I reach my inner age = 75 XD) , I totally appreciated the delivery in time for Christmas! (whispering) Perhaps printing quality in the Spain printing company is not as good as in the US, but - hey! - I got it before Christmas as a gift for my thank-God-non-Gen-Z-sister! ;) hugs from the eighties, and from Italy, and thanks!

This is SO cool. Morning coffee will always memorialize my new addition to the English lexicon.
Too inappropriate
