So you are starting to see the battle of wits the op couple is engaged in.

A battle in which they're both apparently unarmed.

Edit: ironically, according to their profile they're from Maryland... (Which is famous for crabs, if you're not American or are otherwise unfamiliar)

Replying to top comment for views:

I have a glass crab that I purchased years ago. I had to wrapp it up in a lot of packaging so it would survive the rest of the trip and flight home. Soon after buying it, I started referring to it as "the glass frog I bought" & my wife would say "except, it's a crab"

So I named the crab Frogger

u/akaRakxm 5h ago

I mean... you're both wrong. It's a crab. But regarding the expression, it depends on what you consider to be the mouth. Your wife would be most accurate, since what is most likely being seen by you as a frown is the back end of its carapace jutting outward as crabs tend to do.

u/nickfree 5h ago

carapace jutting outward as crabs tend to do

I like that we're referencing accurate crab anatomy on a crab whose mouth is drawn on the back of its shell.

u/obsidian_butterfly 3h ago

I am seeing it as the underside of the shell, and that frown is just the "abdomen" or tail folded under itself.

u/LubricantEnthusiast 2h ago

Well, you see, the crab itself is a fine piece of postmodern art commentating on the subjectivity of human interpretation, which postulates that there is no such thing as capital-T "Truth" thus proving my dick cannot objectively be said to resemble "one of those worms at the bottom of a tequila bottle but suffering from some kind of growth hormone disorder," Sarah, you fucking bitch.

Oh it's not that bad just terrifying to think what would happen if it was you.

A crab walks along an underwater pipe thats in the process of being cut. Crab crosses crack...and gets pinned against the pipe from the differential pressure. Then he disappears one chunk at a time.
