loggerhead
Large-headed marine reptile
A loggerhead is a large sea turtle with a disproportionately big head.
The word also names a tool—an iron ball on a long handle, heated and used for melting tar or warming liquids.
The most common use is in the phrase at loggerheads, meaning locked in stubborn disagreement: The two factions have been at loggerheads for months.
