Changed from "Big Binding Crab" to "Big Sluice Crab"
The translation of the Cantonese name for the crab 大閘蟹 into "Big Binding Crab" really makes no sense. It is perhaps stems from a misunderstanding of the original translator thinking that 大閘蟹 means a binded crab. In Hong Kong crabs for eating are sold alive but tied up so that they cannot hurt whoever handles them. In 1987 the stockmarket crashes in October (Black Monday 1987) and the time coincides with the 大閘蟹 being brought on to the market (it is only on sale in Hong Kong during the ninth and tenth months of the lunar calendar). Due to this tied up condition the term 大閘蟹 was jokingly used to describe investors who have bought shares that had much depreciate in values but are unwilling to sell to realise losses. These investors' money are therefore binded. This nickname for the poor investors sticks and is still used today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pelikan4001 (talk • contribs) 23:35, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We should add alternative Chinese names
As I know, it is also called 河蟹 or 中华绒蝥蟹, which is the scientific name in simplified Chinese. Could anyone help to add those names?
