👉 Imagine you have a piece of wood that is perfectly rounded and smooth, like a pitted shell from the ocean floor. But when you cut the wood with sharp knives, it's like peeling back layers of paint to reveal a jagged, cracked surface.
For instance, imagine you were cutting into your favorite painting, but accidentally peeling off layers of paint on each layer until you only had a small, white spot in the center. This is where the word 'pitted shelled' comes in: instead of being perfectly uniform and smooth, it's covered in jagged, cracked sections that look like a peeling shell. This example sentence shows just how unnerving it can be to accidentally peel off layers of paint or other substances from your surroundings without realizing what you've done until the damage is too late. It's like trying to do something unexpected and ending up with a gaping hole in your house.
