Or are they both and do they mean the same thing??

I have seen both phrases used on here.

It takes two to tango.

It takes two to tangle.


Same meanings??

They are both right, IMO.

The meanings, IMO, can be used for the same subject or two different subjects. :devil: :D

It takes two to tangO: Two to have sex/make a baby, two to fight...

It takes two to tangLE: Two to fight, and two to you know if bondage is present

So they ARE interchangeable if both mean "Two to fight?"

yes... because someone could say "Let's Dance" to another if he wanted to fight... Tango is a dance...

Does that mean you can only have two to tango? :confused:

I think you would end up with a tangle if you tried cutting in on a tango.:p

The one I always have problems with is

For all intents and purposes

Or

For all intrinsic purposes

I have always argued that it is the second on but very few people know what intrinsic means so they say the first one.

I've actually heard people say "for all intensive purposes"...

I believe that the original quote is "intents and purposes".

I'm pretty sure that "tango" is the original quote. And tangle wo uld pretty much give the quote the same conotation.

It Takes Two to Tango is what I've always heard. Of course, the other is good too. It does take at least two to tangle.

two to tangle is wrong.

Have you ever tied your shoe laces into a knot? One lace, tangled. Unless you tied them together.

All things being equal, I believe I would prefer to tango rather than tangle, unless tangle has some connotation other than fight or wrestle. In which case, I may prefer tangle. Now I'm confused!

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
