Agreed

I've been in places that call anything wet cricks,creeks, streams, branches,springs and here anything running in August a river!

In Pittsburgh it is Pine Crick. We also call people from Virginia Jagoff$

Haha!

Better than being one of those old fogies with plaid shorts pulled up over their belly button, riding around in a canoe trolling for a trout or two, and then saying they caught them when in fact the trout caught themselves, lol.

Love ya Nessy!

And corn out fishes worms!

Bout time youns high falutin snobs unthawed.
Spell check has left the building lol.

Bingo!

That's exactly what I said.

I don't believe that we are allowed to call each other that in here. That's mean. Besides that, everybody who is intact surely does it, thus I am not offended, if that was your intention kind sir.

Brook is definitely a Yankee term. Same with pop.

But not light bread.

I'm surprised somebody hasn't mentioned runs.

Around my camp in north central PA every crick is called a run. Elk Lick Run, Indian Shanty Run, Beech Flats Run, Gravel Lick Run, Ole Bull Run, Wild Boy Run, Ayers Shanty Run, there's dozens of them.
