What does LIMPET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small sea snail with a low cone-shaped shell that clings tightly to rocks.
A limpet grazes on algae when the tide covers the rock, then presses its shell down and holds fast when the water retreats, so waves and gulls can hardly shift it. Many return to the same spot, wearing a shallow scar into the stone. The name is also used for people who cling to a place or a person, and a limpet mine is an explosive device attached magnetically to a ship.
