Fun with English

In keeping with the short and entertaining theme (and I'm not just referring to Chabot and Ringer here), let's do a little word association thing. One of the things that confuses non-native English speakers is how the same word can mean completely different things. What you think of when you hear certain words may indicate something about you. Today's word is shell

What does the word "shell" make you think of?

Home for a crusteacean? Daisy sniffer.

Thing that holds a bottom bracket? Bike Weenie.

Command line interpreter program? Computer geek.

verb - lay waste to fellow competitors? Solobreak reader. Congrats and thanks for reading.
