Choosing to buy a significantly more expensive item largely because it is better marketed and more ostentatious but which is actually of slightly inferior quality to the cheaper option. Often done on impulse.
Adam: "You know I kinda regret forking out $5000 for this fancy clockwork watch. I need to wind it all the time and my old quartz watch was noticeably more accurate."
Barry: "You spent $5000 on a watch! What were you thinking?"
Adam: "I dunno ... it looked great in the shop window and my credit card made it so easy. I guess I just bought the lobster."
Barry: "I know what you mean, I hate buying the lobster."

A phrase used to describe someone who's being a colossal dumbfuck. Mostly just used as a degrading insult. Is much more effective against black people.
References retards who go to the grocery store to buy lobster with food stamps, thinking they're bougie as fuck.
Bro, how the fuck are you dying so much in this game, you can't be buying lobster with food stamps.
