Creek or Crick

[jdcyclone19]

True, I don’t know your specific area. But as someone that grew up in NW Iowa, and not being an “old timer”, I am doubting the all inclusive nature of your statement. Sorry but this is obviously an emotional topic. Lol. Cave?

Just curious. Can’t someone ask why another person disagrees and have a discussion without the cave like politics? I quoted another person from NW IA, so I was providing another view point and I didn’t say it was all inclusive.

A follow up would be:

Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner?

or

Breakfast-Dinner-Supper?

It's got to breakfast/dinner/supper. It was the "Last Supper" not the "Last Dinner ".

North central Iowa. Iowa/Minnesota border. Pronounced both ways up here. I say creek, the ones who bang their cousins and sisters say crick.

A follow up would be:

Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner?

or

Breakfast-Dinner-Supper?

Monday-Saturday: Breakfast-Lunch-Supper
Sunday: Breakfast-Dinner-Supper

We also said crick if the waterway was unnamed.

Is it a coincidence that hick and crick rhyme? I think not.

Dinner's for fancy folk. Breakfast, lunch, supper.

Streams have trout, cricks just bullheads

That's a solid argument. I can roll with that.

Stream = trout
Crick = bullhead and other **** fish
Creek = pretentious

When you go to the bathroom, they say it’s a stream of pee. Never seen a trout fly out of my junk.

Neither of I. But one night in Maple a buddy who got into some shrooms swore there was rainbow colored bubbles coming out of my chest.

As kids we caught crawfish, crawdads, and crayfish in the Crick down the street
but went fishing at Rock Creek.

Crawdads.

Creek is correct American English. Crick is a regional colloqialism. If you don't know that regional language carries the day, all y'all haven't been far from home.

Give me American English over "bae", "fleek", "woke".

A follow up would be:

Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner?

or

Breakfast-Dinner-Supper?

When working from home it's Lunch-Supper. When going into work it's just Supper. No time for breakfast.

The small unnamed stream that went through our farm growing up was the only thing I have ever called a crick. Everything else was always a creek. I still refer to it that way with a sense of nostalgia.

We always had breakfast dinner and supper growing up. Lunch referred to the snacks we ate between the meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, lunch, supper.

Now it's breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Do we get to open the Pandora's box of pop versus soda now? I wanna see some off-season throwdown action in here.

This thread delivers, I'm usually Creek so that's what I voted but certainly call a little stream a crick from time to time. God we need sports.

Maybe we should just start a CF culture war master thread until sports start back up
