call it what ever you like so long as you give me permission to fish it , hunt it and trap it.

what's next soda , pop , or coke ?

they all work it just tells you some of them ain't from round here and some is or what side of the river is it the Best side or the Helman's side

how about is it?

breakfast , lunch , dinner

breakfast , dinner , supper

or some other combination

doesn't matter what you want to call it , don't call me late for any of them

Around here, the smaller streams are called a run. The larger stream is a crick. If creek is used, it is usually someone not from the area.

there is a map some that tried to show it all it even varied by county as it does here in WI if you get a guy from one side and his wife from the other side of the county he might call it soda-pop to not make it a item of contention in the household or at family gatherings

I found the map I grew up in soda territory and married a girl from a pop county who spent time in a coke area and I can call it either or any just a matter of where my feet are at the time.

ADC

The people who pronounce it KREEK fish for trout in it with a flyrod. And people who pronounce it correctly, crick, fish for catfish in it with a cane pole.

Sorry ADC, in Louisiana we fish for catfish with cane poles in CREEKS (unless we called that small waterway a bayou). In Wyoming we fish for trout with a flyrod in CRICKS (unless we call that small waterway a river). grin
