Have at it kids, I'm going to bed.
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.

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.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Depends on which stream I am talking about. Some are creek and some are crick. Crazy.

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?
