Meaning and background
The story behind Iceman
Iceman has ordinary English senses involving someone skilled at traveling on ice or someone who sells and delivers ice. Those practical meanings exist independently of any action-film or comic-book namesake a household may intend. A dog called Iceman can carry a winter memory or a private reference, while the dictionary establishes the occupational and travel vocabulary only. A particular fictional association would need its own supporting source.
