Cart by a crick*

Cart by a crick*
*Europeans: that is how old-timey rural Americans pronounce creek. My dad said crick all his life. He probably would have said crick to the queen or the pope, if he'd had the chance.

PiP for another version.

Other people only have a crick in their neck;-) I guess your dad could make himself understood though.

Haha - oh yes. He didn't have a country hick accent, just a few verbal mannerisms that were funny.

I have a crick in my neck right now!

... and I will defend to the hilt your right to say it any way you, or your dad, pleased, Diane!

It pleases me to say creek, but crick is funnier. Sometimes I say it to myself for a laugh.

Do you travel with your own shopping trolleys Diane? You certainly seem to come across a lot of them :-))

Yes, I do, Keith. I never know when I'm going to run out of things to take pictures of. I favor this little one, it's the MG of shopping carts.

In the part of the south where I was raised, we didn't quite say 'crick', but the very long 'e' and the fact that consonants at the end of a word were barely said, meant that it came out close to 'crick', a little more like 'creak'.

So, the K is implied, rather than stated? Kind of like the current oddity of "welp" for well (as in, ("Welp, I've gotta go"). I tried to explain to someone that the P is not pronounced, rather implied by closing the lips tightly after the first L. Crazy, I know!

Very interesting and a new one on me! I have to add 'welp' to my lexigon and I will be thinking long and hard about that implied but silent 'p'. Something like when we Anglos say 'What!' with emphasis (WWWHHHHHAAAAT?????), where the 'h' is sort of half pronounced and stifled in a kind of 'back breath' at the same time. Hard to describe but so is your silent p, yet you describe it very well!

I think there are a lot of those kinds of things, if we think about it enough. (Now I'll annoy myself by trying to think of more!)
