Juggernaut (j)

Adventures in Logophilia, Day 145:

juggernaut (n)

A juggernaut is an irresistible, crushing force, or (more militarily) an overwhelming force that crushes everything in its path (i. e. the Death Star).  In Britain, a juggernaut is a name for a large, heavy truck or lorry, what we call a semi.  Yes, I definitely concur with the last one after having seen footage of semis spinning on the ice and crashing into things.  Eek!
