I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

I’ve never known someone who said they had a creek in their neck. Known a few that said they had a crick in their neck. That said I’m going with creek.

depends on where I am at or who I am talking to. If down in Tn. it is crick, here at home it is normally creek, but it can be crick.

There's a conundrum over the crick/creek colloquialisms that
cohese our cosmic, capricious, cacaphony...and therefore
capitulates our callous, cacophonous, circumlocution of
charlatanism.
It's rough.

A creek is started by a spring and runs clean and clear.
A crick is started by a cow and is usually dry unless there's a downpour.

Creek.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

That is crazy, lol.

Probably as crazy as spelling it creek and pronouncing it crick which is what folks did where I was raised.

Creeky door, good one.
Water course can be a pain in the neck.

Jargon changes from county to county over here,
we try and have fun with it.

Here, the cricks or creeks wander through the salt marshes. About half say crick, about half say creek. I think I switch back and forth.

A crick is the red-headed cousin of a creek.


Eh...wot?
