shell sham

A reference to young men who grow scruffy beards, wear their hair in a greasy and disheveled fashion and wear surplus military field jackets in an apparent attempt at duplicating the stereotypical media image of a traumatized war veteran.

That young twenty-something with the darting eyes and the spastic movements whom I saw sitting in front of the English department seems to be affecting quite an elaborate shell sham.

shell comets

A type of comet that looks more like a symbol rather than a comet.

A truly beautiful sight where you see the clearest glimmer of beauty in the stars (best seen at night). Fills a person with many emotions, especially gratitude and appreciation, everyone loves them! They are truly something you don't want to pass off or turn head away from, and even if they are underappreciated or ignored, they are really one of the most glorious things in the world. Seeing one in the moonlight is something anyone should be proud of. (Based on a poem).

I love the shell comets out tonight! That one looks like a capybara!
