crab
Sidling sea dweller
A crab generally designates a large group of crustaceans found in fresh and saltwater, and on land.
The edible meat of many species is also called crab.
Some tiny parasitic insects shaped like the crustaceans that infest hairy parts of humans are also called crabs; these are properly crab lice.
If you are crabbing, you are either fishing for crabs, or moving like a crab.
A different kind of crab is a grouchy person; such a person crabs (complains) constantly.
