fishscale
Carp's overlapping plates
Fishscale refers to the small, overlapping plates that cover a fish's body.
The pattern extends to anything arranged similarly: fishscale shingles, fishscale armor.
In drug slang, fishscale describes high-purity cocaine, named for its shiny, flaky appearance: That's some fishscale right there.
