Although the 'list of translations posted by crmalcolm was interesting, I didn't 100% agree with some of the translations.
For me a Tank Slapper (for example) is where a car loses grip in one direction, the driver over-corrects and the car loses grip in the other direction and so on. (The phrase comes from the same situation happening in motorcycling where the rider applying the steering correction to his handlebars appears to be slapping the (fuel) tank with his hands.
