So it's a Kiki speak word?

If Kiki was an illiterate woodsie then yes. lol

Lol. Very true tho. My favourite stories to tell is the time I walked out of the school bathrooms and almost stepped on an adult brown snake (very dangerous snake) or the time we had a funnel web in our house and we couldn’t find it for 3 days.
Ah. Good stories

Burn it down.

I fail to see why that would make a difference?
It's still the same concept and was it even established who came up with the word craw for that use?
Might of been some university type.
Who knows that's just another backwater hillbilly's opinion so it probably shouldn't count for much.

I'll take a backwater hillbilly over 90% of the other people anyday. The other 10% stick to themselves so they don't bother me anyways

All I'm saying is that the English word is crop. I believe craw is a dialect thing.

So making up words to mean things that already have a proper name isn't an issue for you as long as it's the right group of people doing it?
But when backwater hillbillies do it it rubs you the wrong way?
just trying to understand.
