humm... it isn't crick, bayou, and river?

 

[Alaskan]

I don't think Texas has "streams"

hummmm or "branches" of water.

We have "gullies"

and cricks, and bayous, and rivers.

Those do also apply to moving water.

We dont use crick. We use creek

DUDE that she be turned into furniture!!!

amazing that you burn that stuff.... up here I get to burn spruce, spruce, spruce, and if I pay out the nose Birch and Alder.

we burn oak of any kind, ash, poplar, cherry, locust, hickory, etc. Yeah the good logs we sell but the ones that won't get top dollar heat our house.

Here it's stream, creek, and river. Y'all are nuts.

 

[Alaskan]

I thought only Yankees said creek

and stream? really? who uses words like that?

unless of course, you mean a "stream of electricity" or a "stream of consciousness"

 

[Alaskan]

and a bayou is always a bayou... there is no other word that fits....

a wide, super dark water, at least a foot deep, super slow moving body of water, usually filled with cotton mouths and turtles = bayou

I'm from delaware ohio which is central to the state. I am a yankee! Others around me call everything that isn't a river a crick. Drives me insane they won't properly pronounce things.
