A website that makes people inherently dumber. Used as a way to post advertisements for the selling of items and services, it is now overrun with the stupid. Any description of an item is completely ignored, and subsequent idiotic questioning follows. In the off-chance that someone actually gets to the point of making an offer for an item, any listed price is ignored and a low-ball offer is made. A trade may also be offered, whether or not this has been mentioned as an alternative to cash payment. The idiocy is not entirely limited to the buyer, as there are many occasions where a seller is contacted and then has no idea what they are selling. Because there are so many stupid people on Craigslist, many scams have been set up to take advantage of this. There are multiple types of schemes in place to try to take these people's money, often successfully. Despite Craigslist's best efforts and numerous warnings against these scams, most users are often too dense to realize that they are about to be financially raped, and possibly physically as well as there are many listings for sexual encounters.
Buyer: "Yo you got that gixxer for sale on Craigslist bro?"
Seller: "It's not a Suzuki GSX-R, it's a Honda CBR1000. Yes I'm still selling it for $5,500."
Buyer: "Alright yo, so you'll take $2000 then?"
Seller: "No."
Buyer: "What about a set of Bridgestone tires?"
Seller: "No."
Example 2
Buyer: "Hi I'm calling about the motorcycle you have listed on Craigslist. Is it still for sale?"
Seller: "What motorcycle?"
Buyer: "You have a 2007 Suzuki listed for $4800 on Craigslist. Is it still for sale or is it sold?"
Seller: "......."
Buyer: "So you didn't list a 2007 Suzuki for $4800?"
Seller: "Oh yeah yeah yeah my bad bro. Nah it's sold."

Used to describe a person (or subculture) that does everything in it's power to destroy the ambitions of those among them who wish to improve themselves.
It comes from the story of catching crabs in a bucket. When you catch a crab and place him in a bucket, the first thing he'll try to do is escape. Now, if you put two crabs in a bucket (hence the plural form of 'Crabs in a Bucket') and place them in there together, as soon as one tries to climb up out of the bucket the other will grab the escaping crab by the legs and try to escape itself, to which the process gets repeated to the point where NO crabs end up escaping.

Carl: "Isn't it a shame honey? How Johnny and Bobby are always constantly jabbing at (and insulting) eachother whenever they approach a group of girls, trying to make themselves look better than the other?"
Linda: "Exactly, they're like a bunch 'crabs in a bucket', they both end up as losers.

Get the Crabs in a Bucket mug.Crabstickz (Chris Kendall) is a British youtuber who is known for his hilarious comedy sketches and fun personality. His videos involve parodies where he creates characters (such as Enrique Alfalfa) and ones where he just talks to the camera.
He also has a second channel; crabstickz2
He joined Youtube in 2008 and has been making videos ever since. Crabstickz is also good friends with KickThePJ, where they jokingly encourage the fiction pairing 'kickthestickz'
Crabstickz has also made videos alongside other youtubers; danisnotonfire, PJ and amazingphil. They're known as 'the fantastic foursome'
Unfortunately, most of the teenage fanbase for the foursome are shallow fan girls that rate their channels by appearance and looks, rather than actual talent and comedy.
This has caused crabstickz to be hesitant of uploading new videos, as he went through a phase of not enjoying making videos and even considered quitting because YouTube had 'changed'.
What he needs to realise is that he should ignore the pathetic 15 year olds who only care about who's the 'hottest' and should do what he enjoys, even if its just talking to the camera. Because not all of his subscribers are creepy fangirls (similar to his impersonation of a typical fangirl 'Becca Hodgekins') & we just want to see him!
