In my last post I referred to Islamic terrorists as “Islamofascist Tangos”. Well just what is a “Tango”?
A Tango is a term primarily used by SOFs in the field or slang to refer to terrorists or more generally “targets”. If you recall, Charlie was the American moniker for the Vietcong terrorists during the Vietnam War. It came about due to the Vietcong’s abbreviation “VC” or when talking phonetically on a radio “Victor Charlie” or “Charlie” for short. Tango came about the same way with terrorists or targets being referred to simply as “T”.
From Urban Dictionary:
Tango Down
A word used to describe a terorist that has been eleminated. It is mainly used by the Special Forces to describe an eleminated enemy during a firefight.
Nice job taking that Tango down.
Tango 6 O’clock. Roger that Tango down.
I hope this cleared some things up.
