On the other hand it could be Ancient Greek meaning unstoppable Hidden Content
in my opinion every number has an abreiviation ie 2 is a couple 3 is a few. 18 is a juggernaught. A juggernaught truck has 18 wheels.
TaaaDAAAA
The term juggernaut is used to describe any literal or metaphorical force regarded as unstoppable that will crush all in its path. In Britain, it is also used to refer to any large and heavy lorry.
The word is derived from the Sanskrit Jagannātha, meaning "Lord of the universe"; it is one of the many names of Krishna from the ancient Vedic scriptures of India. One of the most famous of Indian temples is the Jagannath Temple in Puri, Orissa, which has the Ratha Yatra (chariot procession), an annual procession of chariots carrying the murtis/statues of Jagann?th (Lord Krishna), Subhadra and Baladeva (Krishna's elder brother). During the British colonial era, Christian missionaries promulgated a myth that Hindu devotees of Krishna were lunatic fanatics who threw themselves under the wheels of these chariots in order to attain salvation.[citation needed] The fact is that devotees have sometimes been crushed accidentally in the past as the massive 45 foot tall, multi-ton chariot slipped out of control. Many have also been killed in the resulting stampedes. The sight led the Britons to use the word "Juggernaut" to refer to other instances of unstoppable, crushing forces.

I don't know how anyone can wonder anything when they are plonked in front of the worlds largest information system. Or were you just trying to make conversation?
He was just trying to make conversation to get his post count up. At the time of that post it was low.
He was posting silly and stupid comments in just about every single thread going.
