What is the difference between a creek and a crick? Please add where you are from in your answer. One is a body of flowing fresh water smaller than a river, and the other is a pain in the neck. Unless you're from Appalachia, in which case the latter (crick) is an alternative pronunciation of the former (creek). I have yet to find corroborating evidence of this sense/connotation of the word. I'm mostly from California, and out here we call them creeks (rhymes with leeks), regardless of size.
The term comes from the Latin word crenatus which means 'scalloped or notched'. In biology and zoology, the term refers to an organism displaying the shape (such as a leaf or shell), while in chemistry, crenation is used to describe what happens to a cell or other object when it is exposed to a hypertonic solution.
