Top 10 Trout Streams in PA (only name brands)

Very late to the game but I propose a definition;
Crick- trash fish
Creek- trout

I have a crick behind my house. Desperately wish it was a creek…

Considering that both crick and Creek are acceptable pronunciations listed in Merriam-Webster's dictionary, I say that we should so what we are accustomed to saying and move on with life.

I grew up a crick-er, and I'll remain a crick-er.

Even though I am now a "creek-er," one of my mentors in my earliest days was Tom Forward, the owner of Eyler's Sport Shop in Ardmore and later Bryn Mawr, PA where I bought my first fly rod & reel and whole bunch more.

As a kid, Tom told me all about the famous places I had yet to explore in PA and elsewhere, but they were all "cricks" to Tom and most of the folks in SEPA.

All my life, I have said "crick" when I was around my friends, family and other assorted fellow peasants. However, back when I used to do public presentations or was otherwise in conversation in polite society, my brain automatically changed "crick" to "creek". It was non-volitional and automatic. After many years off the presentation circuit, I did one for a local historical society recently. The automatic shift from "crick" to "creek" was still in effect..

The $#!+ crick near me now has a small handful of natives. I guess it's now a $#!+ creek.

I think of cricks as small streams.

"There's a little crick running behind the cabin."

This morning, I cooked a sausage patty, fried an egg, and toasted a bagel before realizing we were out of American cheese. The tail end of a bag of shredded cheddar I used instead left me significantly disappointed in the end product. Should have done no cheese. American has its place.

Had I realized we were out American before being 3/4 of the way to an egg sandwich, I would have poured a bowl of Cheerios instead.

We refer to Sinnemahoning creek as "the river"

Dear Swattie,

I just made an Egg McMuffin with homemade bacon and Swiss cheese. I thought it was pretty good that way.
