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.

Turtle Shell On A Monkey Bar

Men who ride Harley's or other cruising type bikes, who wear turtle shell style helmets because they are not driving fast enough to need a full helmet usually. And they ride on a bike that has had custom steering handles installed. The handle bars are usually raised an additional 10 to 12 inches, making the rider appear to be hanging from a monkey bar.

"How bout that turtle shell on a monkey bar, his tiny helmet had huge skulls painted on it and he was barely able to hang onto his monkey bar because it was almost too high..."

Soft-shelled

Derogatory slang used to refer to a person feeling micro-aggressed who, in-turn, macro-aggresses.

Male: Don't call me cis male gender. It's dehumanizing.

Pro-Trans: Stop being transphobic! You don't know what it's like for us!

Male: Maybe if you weren't so soft-shelled.
Pro-Trans: *initiates physical altercation*
