tag teams
Paired wrestling squads
A tag team is a pair of wrestlers who compete together, taking turns in the ring by tagging each other's hand to switch places.
The term extends to any two people working in coordinated shifts or alternating roles: We'll tag team the night shift.
As a verb, to tag team means to collaborate by trading off responsibilities, often implying seamless handoffs between partners.
