true meaning

I've updated the page to better reflect the true meaning of the term "crab mentality". The previous definition was that of a spiteful person, which is better described by "dog in the manger". The "crab mentality" refers to the well-known, albeit seldom documented, behaviour of crabs in a tub or pot. I also removed the "lack of references" template as this is a colloquialism. I've left stike-outs in place and intend to remove them in future. 216.145.100.10 18:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
