So I just heard the term "tank slapper" being used for the first time to describe a car losing control. Apparently the term is fairly common in car circles but I fail to see how it makes any sense. Is this one borrowed from the bike world? Gotta be right?
One friend explained that fuel sloshing around in the tank is the origin of this term. A quick google search resulted in one forum post where someone said the same thing but it sounds silly to me. I suspect that someone just made this up one day to explain the borrowed terminology and it just stuck. Anyone know for sure?
