It means that they have a form of lice that generally likes to infest the hair in your pubic/private areas. Thia is also considered a sexually transmitted infestation...or it can be left in bed sheets, clothing, any where the person has been and may have come into contact with something in their crotch area. It is painful and itchy and can take several treatments to be fully rid of crabs. If you have them you should also treat your bed, cushions, blankets etc. since eggs can lay dormant and later reinfect. Just like head lice but a bit more embarrassing.

Crabs are a type of lice that are located in your private hair. They are called crab lice or crabs for short. Usually caused by having intercourse with an infected person and they pass it on to the next person.

It means that so and so has a very unpleasant rash in some embarrassing places. It can be contagious. Also called "crabs," pubic lice are parasitic insects found in the genital area of humans. Infection is common and found worldwide

It's slang for pubic lice -- DO NOT get naked with them, or you'll get crabs too!

they are a venereal disease -- little critters that invest the genital area. They are a specific kind of lice, i think.

It doesn't mean they have pet crustaceans. Rather it means they have tiny insects living in their groin.
