Your Definition
The concluding exclamation in a [conversation] or argument whereby one person's fact, argument point or humiliating revelation will be proven untrue or ridiculous, rendering them in a state of [embarrassment]. It can be also used as closure in an exchange of purposely misleading information solely to provoke gullibility. The derivation comes from the phrase, having 'egg on your face' meaning to suffer [embarrassment]. Shell, would indicate ultimate embarrassment; having the egg AND the shell on your face, eventually being shortened to just Shell. Also, Get your Shells, Get Your Shellings, Shellings and Shell on you. The past tense would be Shelled or Shelled out. This phrase is commonly used in South Manchester, UK
