Fun story behind the name, per the language inventor Hendrik K. Grubbs, Phd.

"Dr. Grubbs, what inspired the language name"

"A Hooker down by the docks"

"WHAT?!?"

"Yes, I went to her lonely one Friday, she only cost five dollars. Next day I had a terrible itch and realized she'd given me crabs. So I confronted her the next day and asked why she had done this to me. 'What do you expect for five dollars, lobster?' "
