Peter,My translation above is intended to convey the meaning in English. That is, it is telling the reader what the English slang word means in Spanish, as opposed to what the actual Spanish word is. A reverse example of this would be "A jigsaw puzzle is called a headbreaker in Spanish." If I had used the word ladillas, the translation wouldn't have reflected the intent of the original, which was to convey the slang word used in English. But I can see how what I wrote might be confusing, and thanks for pointing out the word ladillas.

A Spanish friend assured me that the correct term for 'crabs' was 'ladillas', and that 'cangrejos' should not be used in this context.
