Signaling the failure or end
문화적 배경
The conch is a symbol of Lord Vishnu. Using it for failure is a form of 'sacred irony'. The sound of the conch is believed to ward off evil, but here it marks the end of a venture. The conch is used in daily puja. Its metaphorical use shows how religious symbols permeate daily language. Even in modern offices, this phrase is used to describe project shutdowns.
