The noun langouste has 2 senses
1. spiny lobster, langouste, rock lobster, crayfish -- (warm-water lobsters without claws; those from Australia and South Africa usually marketed as frozen tails; caught also in Florida and California)
2. spiny lobster, langouste, rock lobster, crawfish, crayfish, sea crawfish -- (large edible marine crustacean having a spiny carapace but lacking the large pincers of true lobsters)
The English word is langouste and the distinguishing characteristic is no claws.

crawfish (French: languste; German: Languste.)

Crustaceans (without claws) of the family Palinuridae, also called spiny lobster, rock lobster, sea crayfish.


But it's a funny photoshop, though. .V..
