So like quick google yeah? Google's very first definition for Scuttle- the one it spits out at you before it gives you any links to your search... is the noun "A a metal container with a sloping hinged lid and a handle, used to fetch and store coal for a domestic fire." The verb doesn't pop up unless you click the "more definitions".
The preview for the first actual dictionary site also gives a definition for a noun of a shallow open basket. However if you click that actual dictionary website link, the very first definition is the more commonly known verb and the related noun of "a quick shuffling pace".
I really really hope it wasn't a "I googled it and google said this" type of situation because holy shit that would be so stupid.
