Code name for mary jane or hashish. Five years before Al Gore invented teh internets last Thursday, a daft group of young hooligans attending a Department of Defense high school overseas in Heidelberg, Germany (the epicenter and mythical origin of lulz before it became fashionable), overcame the obstacles erected by MPs and the CID to prevent them from attaining temporary enlightenment from the unlikely combination of some matches, a pipe and hash. The oppressed lads, in what is now a classic story of triumph over hardship, devised a new lexicon with which they could communicate freely, but also secretly, about their favorite past time. Their love of music, particularly the time-honored melodies of Eazy-E, influenced their decision to substitute the word for illicit cannabis with tapes. This wise choice enabled the lads to continue their unique brand of hooliganism unhindered, ensuring more lulz would be had for many years to come. And the Iraq. Urban Dictionary

Magnetic tape, commonly referred to as just tape, is very thin plastic tape coated across the length of it with a magnetic substance. For example, it could be coated with iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) or chromium dioxide (CrO₂). Both of these formulas were used in the compact cassette, or cassette tape, a format that stored audio signals on this magnetic tape, running past stationary tape heads at a speed of 1.875 inches per second. Magnetic tape was also used on video recording formats such as VHS, Video2000, and Betamax. It is also used in the high-end recording market, and there it is called reel-to-reel tape.
