Reminds me of where the word "tank" came from.

  Had to look at the Wikipedia page under etymology. I got the gist at least. They didn't want to call it a land cruiser or landship due to secrecy, so were trying to bill it as a machine for carrying water. Water Carrier would give their committee the same initials as essentially the British word for toilet, so they changed it to tank supply as in water tank.
