in reply to @porglezomp's post:

i would like to point out that man-of-war can refer to

  • any type of heavily armed warship from the 16th to the 19th centuries
  • a driftfish generally found in open sea or close to the Portuguese man o' war

or the Portuguese man o' war, also referred to as Portuguese man of war, a floating marine colonial hydrozoa, not a jellyfish but a siphonophore
