"thagomizer" is now an actual technical term used in paleontology, referring to the distinctive collection of tail spikes on a stegosaurus that do, in fact, appear to have been used as weapons.
(This was *not* the case when Gary Larson first coined the term in 1982. Evidently, there had not previously been a name for it, so the paleontologists started using it...)
