Cool, so what’s a Dinonaut?

A Dinonaut is someone who rides a dinosaur. But are they though? I’m not sure that’s correct. Maybe it’s someone who travels towards a dinosaur? Come to think of it, an astronaut travels through space. So a dinonaut could be someone who travels through a dinosaur. So it could be like Inner Space meets Jurassic Park. Which sounds like a movie that needs to be made.

So does a Juggernaut travel through jugs? WAIT is a juggernaut just a heavy drinker?
