Where I grew up, crayfish are freshwater mudbugs; those would be rock lobsters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4QSYx4wVQg .

Also where I grew up, we had a "baseball analogy" for dating, in which running the bases proceeds more or less as follows:

1st base - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_kTor63Ihw

2nd base - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHOo_b6Gn4c

3rd base - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-rB0pHI9fU

home run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1niTEkP-6eo

So I would say (referring to the diving video!) that fingers in wet crevices and feeling around would be 3rd while sticking spears in and suddenly releasing tension would defo be a home run.

In countries that don't really have baseball as a sport that anyone plays, does the same pattern apply? Are there different analogies, perhaps involving "silly mid ons" or "brexit tackles"?
