The word "Tank" was adopted by the Ministry of Munitions to secure secrecy, but the public and the "Tommies" have trawled the dictionary for more expressive names for the weapon. Some of the favourites have been Land Dreadnought, Caterpillar Saurian, War Whale, Snark, Wibbly-Wobbly, Pachyderm, Slug, Big Willie and Ichtyosaurus. [end clipping]
