Shake
Apple discontinued software
Shake is fundamentally about rapid back-and-forth movement.
You shake a bottle to mix its contents, shake someone's hand in greeting, or shake with cold or fear.
If something shakes you, it disturbs or unsettles you emotionally.
A shake is an instance of shaking, or informally a milkshake.
In the plural, the shakes refers to trembling from illness, withdrawal, or nerves.
If something is no great shakes, it's nothing special.
To shake down someone is to extort money from them; a shakedown is such an extortion or a thorough search.
