There’s a Word for That: Scuttle
When I first decided to start doing these posts every Wednesday, I really did not think they would be my only posts. However, the last couple weeks have presented some interesting blogging roadblocks, which you’ll have to hear more about later.
So, this week, we’re going to try things a little differently. I’ve got a word, and I want you to leave a comment with what that word means to you. You might have multiple definitions for it, but they all have to be yours. No fair copying from Webster’s Dictionary.
The word is…
SCUTTLE
Looking forward to reading your comments!

To sink or in some way dispose of…..
Oh, no-If I am the first comment I am going to have to be really creative!
Scuttle: To walk quickly away from something unappealing. “I’m going to scuttle from that sink full of dishes ; )”
to move quickly and somewhat randomly in a frantic fashion.
She scuttled about the room.
I have no idea if that is a correct usage of the word… but for some reason that is what pops in my mind.
Interesting.
The first thing that comes to my mind is the seagull from the Little Mermaid. Which then makes me think of scuttling around the deck of a ship. Scuttling back and forth.
It makes me think of a beetle moving along to somewhere. We “visualize” in first grade when we learn a new word or listen to a story, and that’s what I see when I hear the word.
I also think it is a kind of small boat, too, but I’m not sure about that without looking it up! 🙂
hmmm. i always think of the compound word “scuttlebutt” (sp) and have always thought that, by context, it meant commotion, activity, nonsense, etc. i think it was also the name of the seagull in “the little mermaid” and he was a real character!
The first thing that popped into my mind was “The Little Mermaid.” Can you tell I have two little girls who love Ariel?
I think of it as a disturbance for example – There was a scuttle going on out in the hallway and it woke me up from a deep sleep.
I would use the word scuttle to describe someone or something scooting along quickly but not smoothly. Does that make sense?
I think of a crab moving.
