crab mentality

Crabs in a bucket can easily escape from the bucket one at a time, but instead of doing that they pull each other down whenever one rises to the top - thus insuring their collective demise.

This is analogous to the behavior of a person who diminishes or pulls down anyone else who achieves or is about to achieve success greater than their own.

Crab mentality: We all like to see our friends get ahead, but not too far ahead.

If I can't have it, no one can have it.

Crab bucket

A crab bucket is what it is: crabs in a bucket. However, what happens in the bucket full of crabs is what makes it a famous saying.

When a single crab is put into a lidless bucket, they surely can and will escape. However, when more than one share a bucket, none can get out. If one crab elevates themself above all, the others will grab this crab and drag'em back down to share the mutual fate of the rest of the group.

Crab bucket syndrome is often used to describe social situations where one person is trying to better themself and others in the community attempt to pull them back down. Also often used in describing the ghettos of America (or anywhere, for that matter).

"Yo, I heard MC Persnickety got a record deal with Koch records!"
"Yeah? I hate that dude...I'ma go tell everyone he plagiarized his lyrics from 50 Cent"
"Shit man, why you gonna go and perpetuate the crab bucket? Playa-hatin' ass nigga."

bro crab

A bro-type move that expresses aggression without actually carrying out any physical harm or getting into a fight. It is characterized by popping your collar, raising both arms behind and slightly above your head, and shaping your hands to look like crab claws. Then, simultaneously, you lean your body towards your bro and aggressively say, "Bro!, Bro!". With every instance of "Bro!", you get louder and flare your claws more and more.

Note 1: Bro crabbing can be very funny, but it won't get you laid--at least not in Harrisburg, PA (tested and failed).

Note 2: Only bro crab your bro. Bro crabbing someone who's not your bro can lead to a fight, which you will likely lose since the bro crab is not an effective offensive or defensive fighting move.

Note 3: If you are getting bro crabbed, the only adequate response is to bro crab right back.

Guy: Dude, let's get the attention of those fems through some bro crabbing.

...the guys bro crab...

Girls: Hehehe... Those guys are so funny--let's do their friends!
