What's A Tank?
Ok, I'm pretty new to the website, but I've seen the term "tank" several times now. I've gathered that the term is describing a kilt, but that's about all I've been able to glean. Is a tank a specific type of kilt? What's the story?

This explains a tank.

A real tank is definitely something you want.
