What was the technical term for this? Something like crabbification but more fancy

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Carcinisation. Presumably rooted in the Cancer crab constellation.

Lol, the term and the constellation both refer to the ~~Latin~~ Greek word for crab

That makes perfect sense and 2 seconds of thinking about it probably would have led me to that conclusion. Thanks for the clarification.

Man. Even the damn stars are turning into crabs.

Also a carcinogen is something that gives you crabs.
