Phrase it takes two to tango was a song title from 1952. As a verb from 1913. Related: Tangoed.It is hardly a year ago since the Tango reached this country from South America by way of Paris.

I would only ask hostesses to let one know what houses to avoid by indicating in some way on their invitation cards whether the 'turkey-trot,' the 'Boston' (the beginner of the evil), and the 'tango' will be permitted." [quoted in "Current Opinion," October 1913, as from a letter to the London Times] 【记】译音：探戈
