Just to be clear
Same way. Also say creek- with the long e sound, just like its spelled. There is one exception to my bayou being pronounced with two syllables, and that is cash bayou Louisiana. It's a t tiny place that I'm not even sure is on the map. Super country and everyone... and I MEAN EVERYONE who knows of it calls is Cash By, and so that's how I learned it and will probably always say it.
