Tanks aren't what tanks were when tanks were created. But now tanks are tanks, but so are tanks.

Oh well then if we are just deciding what words mean then that in the picture is a tank.

Ok, then so are you.

I used to be a tank, then they changed what being a tank was. Now what I'm treading is a tank, and tanks seems weird and scary to me now.

The word tank was first applied in a military context to British "landships" in 1915 to keep their nature secret before they entered service.[3]
