Text | In this podcast, the word "tank" means a very large, heavy vehicle that is used by the army, with thick metal sides to protect the people inside, and with guns for fighting: "Tanks have metal belts over their wheels so that they can move over rocky, uneven ground." A "tank" is also a large container for holding water or another liquid or gas: "Mr. Hansen carries around an oxygen tank to help him breathe." Or, "How many gallons does your car's gas tank hold?" A "tank top" is a shirt that has no sleeves, instead having a small piece of fabric over each shoulder: "The girls wore tank tops all summer." Finally, the informal verb "to tank" means to fail or to not be successful: "They opened a new restaurant, but it tanked within the first few months." |
