Dhblah sidled closer. This was not hard. Dhblah sidled everywhere. Crabs thought he walked sideways.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Dhblah moves sideways everywhere, so getting closer to someone is easy for him. Pratchett's joke is that he's so crab-like that actual crabs would think he walked sideways. It's a silly way to describe a man who never approaches head-on.
