Sink means focus or prioritise in fights.

like i come across it AU and SEA servers. its like a shorter version of KILL THAT GUY NOW USE EVERYTHING *** HIM UP FAM

basically its "sink Tide" or "sink Tusk" its a term used to tell the team to USE EVERYHTINNGGGGGG i think it comes from sinking ship or sink money or sink time into something basically just to use/lose/give/ a lot into a certain thing. like i sink a lot of time into dota fam :P

I believe the term comes from the phrase "throw everything but the kitchen sink". The phrase means that you use everything you have on something.

I've still never heard it used in a game of DOTA.

I guess you could include some of the more commonly used names for heroes that aren't there actual names.

Space Cow for SB
Furion for Nature's Prophet

There's others but I don't know quite how common they are.

Space created, both as a meme and an actual thing.
