Thiccc Backhoe Loader

/thik-bak-hoh LOA-der/  n.
  1. 1. An industrial vehicle characterized by a formidable rear-end presence, typically engaged in tasks that demand both capacity and tenacity; esp. one whose posterior, viewed astern, defies casual description.
  2. 2. colloq. The mechanical embodiment of a 'do not disturb' sign; a presence at the construction site that commands both respect and a wide berth.
In a sentence,

"The thiccc backhoe loader sat regally in the field, its silhouette challenging the horizon to a staring contest."

Etymology,

From Middle English 'back' (from Old English 'bæc') and 'hoe' (from Old Norse 'hō'), combined with 'loader' (first attested in 1926, meaning 'to load'). Proof that even etymology can have a weight problem.
