As the old saying goes, it takes two to tangle.

 

-Interviewing Principles and Practices

Uh.

 

I thought it was tango. Not tangle. I'm looking at a list of common errors in English usage, and it's saying that it should be tango, not tangle.

Yes, but isn't it rather hard to tangle oneself without the assistance of a rope or other such device?

 

It takes two to tango is in reference to two people in some sort of conflict, not a person and a object, so no.-Nukaya

 

Hey, I just like messing with metaphors. :P
