Hmmm… I moved up a bit from from my usual middle of the pack. Conch was just my initial guess. I didn’t know it apparently has some kind of history here. Although I’m not sure what that history is. ---

> [@Defensive\_Indifference](#): > > It does? Can anyone clue me (and **Leaffan** ) in? Is it something to do with how it’s supposed to be an aphrodisiac? It all started in [this Feud](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=467106&highlight=conch) from back in 2008. One of the questions was “Name a variety of seashell”; and the most popular answer by far was “Conch.” Which prompted **brujaja** to say: > [@The exotic Feud \[Closed\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-exotic-feud-closed/448433/84): > > I knew my conch-less butt wouldn’t do well on this one. You know, I was kinda shocked at “conch”, since you only ever see them in tropical-island-type movies. I wondered whether to say “clam” or “scallop” since food is always popular. But “conch”? > > So I asked my roommate, quick, name a seashell! She said “conch”. First time I’ve ever heard that word out loud, instead of in a book. Who knew it loomed so large? In the Feuds that followed, whenever there was a question where one answer turned out to be the overwhelming favorite, it got referred to as “the conch.” (For example, [**twickster** ’s comment](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9831731&postcount=8): “Oh well, every game needs a ‘conch.’”) Eventually, **Rebo** gave us “[The Conchless Feud](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=565056)” (Directions explained “The following ten questions produced conchs in earlier feuds.
