A Mexican slang term that is often used to refer to a large, heavy person. 'Sope' is a type of Mexican dish and 'tanque' translates to 'tank', so it can be taken to mean 'as big as a tank'. It is usually used in a playful, teasing context.
Examples
- Spanish: No te preocupes si Juan no puede mover el sofá, llamaré a mi primo, el es un sope de tanque.
- English: Don't worry if Juan can't move the sofa, I'll call my cousin, he's a sope de tanque.
