online research is so interesting
Why do 16 of the 17 group of synonym listings for shellac on thesaurus.com seem to involve beating the crap out of someone?
The first thing I think of when I hear “shellac” is the resinous substance created from the dissolution of lac into a solvent of some sort, which is then used to seal wooden furniture and the like. Not thrashing someone.

Why in the world were you looking for synonyms for shellac anyways? lol <3
So if I say "Hey! Get the fuck away from me or I'm going to shellac your ass!", does that mean I'm going to prepare somebody for the Body Worlds exhibit or beat the shit out of them?
1) Because I was trying to find a word to adequately describe a childhood misdeed, concerning a bottle of mucilage and a puppy.
2)I think you get to choose the meaning.
However the recipient of the threat may very well be confused, at least until either the anatomical plasticizing or the ass-whooping commences.
I finally thought of a word that would work....how about "glaze" ???
