: To tango Literally, it is of course, true. It DOES take two to tango. By extension, it is used to suggest that a person accused (or guilty) of something did not act alone. An example might be: Qu. 'You know that X is an adulterer?' Ans. 'Yes, but it takes two to tango.' Why tango? I suspect euphony. It sounds better than (for instance) 'it takes two to waltz' (even though it does). DFG
