The "tang" is the thin bit of plastic that makes the RJ11 plug latch into the socket. You push it down to un-latch the plug so you can pull it out of the socket. If you cut it about a third of the way down, you'll not be able to easilly remove the plug once inserted into the socket. Maybe it doesn't translate well: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tang Maybe there's another word for it, but it's what I've always used...
