These two terms are common nicknames for an omni-directional drive.
The term Crab, comes from... well, a crab. If you have ever seen a crab walk, you know that crabs walk sideways. This makes sense since omni-directional drives can go sideways like a crab.
The term swerve is attributed to the agile motion of omni-directional drives. You never really know where they are going next, they just swerve all over the place very gracefully... most of the time anyway
