Crawfish, crayfish, mudbug, crawdad?

crawfish

I’m good buddies with a few folks down that way and I’ve heard them pronounce it a couple different ways.

My coon-(This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) buddy calls it lewzawna. I doubt the spelling really brings out the humidity in his speech.

I have a friend from mid state that says it like Yote says .

I usually say it lew-easy-Ana like Scott does. But when I’m with my friends from down that way I find myself saying it like lewzeana. All one word of that makes sense.

Supper? I’ll bring the beer!!

Crayfish and crawfish is interchangeable. I call them crawfish.

When are we having a boil…




Here is one.

How do you pronounce boil/oil…..?

lol

Another.


Do you call this a bream (pronounced brim) or do you call it a panfish?

Either way, it’s delicious.

Bream and oil or ole the big one I noticed by me is gas is said gaz

Looks like a bluegill to me.

It is a bluegill. But folks refer to the narrow body fresh water fish in that category as bream or panfish.

I’ll be up that way in 2028 for work and some turkey hunting. Perhaps we will have a drink and discuss. Lol

Same here. Down by be most of the shore folks say Long o, like bull but without the B.

I’ve heard gas like that, some just say I need fuel. What kind bud? lol
