Loggerhead का पुराना मतलब है लट्ठ (log) जैसे सख़्त सिर वाला ज़िद्दी आदमी। दो ऐसे सिर आपस में भिड़ जाएँ और कोई झुकने को तैयार न हो — at loggerheads = आपस में असहमति, झगड़ा। इसे दो-चार बार बोलिए, याद रहेगा।

An old meaning of 'loggerhead' is a blockhead, a stubborn person with a head as hard as a log. When two such heads clash and neither will give way, they are at loggerheads: in strong disagreement. Say the word a few times and it will stay.
