How to use "Shuttlecock" in context?
Shuttlecock has come to symbolize intense competition or intense love in a variety of cultures and eras. The term originated in the 16th century as a term for a type of cockfighting bird that had a slender neck and large head.
The birds were bred to have their heads extended out of their frames so that they could better see their opponents, and the shuttlecock was meant to represent the head of the bird. If the cock defended its territory by attacking the bird above it, the head would come in contact with the shuttlecock and the fight would be over.
