Lobster
\Lob"ster\, n. [AS. loppestre, lopystre prob., corrupted
fr. L. locusta a marine shellfish, a kind of lobster, a
locust. Cf.
Locust.] (Zo["o]l.)
1. Any large macrurous crustacean used as food, esp. those of
the genus
Homarus; as the American lobster (
Homarus Americanus
), and the European lobster (
Homarus vulgaris
). The Norwegian lobster (
Nephrops Norvegicus)
is similar in form. All these have a pair of large unequal
claws. The spiny lobsters of more southern waters,
belonging to
Palinurus,
Panulirus, and allied genera,
have no large claws. The fresh-water crayfishes are
sometimes called lobsters.
[1913 Webster]

bungling, or undesirable person. [Slang]
