My guy there desperately hoping we’ve all forgotten about the existence of the word “shaken”

I assume they were using the verb form, such as, "Shake the baby!", and, "I already shook it!", as opposed to the adjective form, "Oh look, a shaken baby!"

Well, there's the second form participle used in the simple past ("I shook") and the third participle used in the present perfect ("I have shaken").

Since OP is leading with Wouldiwas and not Wouldibeen, I think "shook" is fitting.
