- Vinnl 5y agoI think they were referring to the fact that the title mentioned "Dutch shell", which is almost the complete name of Shell-the-company.
- simondotau 5y agoWeirdly, I read this whole thread and assumed people were referring to shell in the form of an empty sea shell, representing an analogy to remnants of a now-dead life form. Which is what crude oil pretty much is. I didn't even think "shell corporation" until I read your comment.
