Is this where we tell the joke about the shell collector who got skunked by bad weather and was crabby for days afterward? For some examples, see:

I know this sounds ignorant, but I want to be sure my understanding of "crabbed" is correct. When you use this term, are you saying it was caught while fishing for crabs? Or are you saying crabs had damaged it, or something else?
Although I've been collecting shells among beach drift for many years, I'm not familiar with the jargon you more experienced and educated collectors use.

Conus lightbourni, Petuch, 1986. I don't know of a live taken specimen, all were crabbed specimens taken from very deep water off Bermuda.
