Dreadnought

Meaning approximatly "fear(s) nothing", the word first came into use as a name for a class of large (sail) ships, dominant during the early 20:th century. The word has often appeared (occationally with slight difference in spelling, e.g. Dreadnaught).

Examples of modernised usage include (different, fictional) classes of ships, especially spacecraft within various sci-fi franchises, Spacemarine Dreadnoughts from GW:s Warhammer 40K franchise (sarcophagus-like warmachines which hold the remains of fallen, near-incapacitated heroes of the Imperium) and a guitar body. The word also commonly appears as a synonym for just about anything "big" or, in some cases, strong, impressive of awe-inspiring.
Person 1: Am I wrong, or is a dreadnought not a ship-class from mass effect?

Person 2: A dreadnought can be many things, my friend...

Dreadnought KV-2

A premium KV-2 from World of Tanks Mercenaries, it's literally just the KV-2 but better, being equipped with a 152mm ML-20SM Thermonuclear bomb launcher that sneezes on people harder then the punishments served in the gulags. But because it's Tier 7 it can get Tier 9's but it can still use H.E shells to annoy Tier 9's.
It's gun has the power of a Dreadnought's gun. thus why it's named Dreadnought KV-2

Urban Dreadnought

An exceptionally large SUV.

During the turn of the century, Dreadnoughts (battleships), like SUVs, were involved in an unending race to become increasingly large. Nations pumped vast fortunes into these resource consuming behemouths that never accomplished their stated mission of establishing naval superiority. This is similar to the stated mission of many SUV owners who claim they need to regularly drive 20 kids to soccer practice of pick-up enough groceries to actually feed the entire crew of a dreadnought for a week.
The Johnson-family treasury was nearly bankrupted due to the fuel costs of their urban dreadnought (please, somebody please think of a better defenition).
