For goodness sakes, it's CREEK. If it was meant to be pronounced "crick" it would be spelled that way. I am from California and if someone said "crick" out here people wouldn't know what they were talking about...except maybe a pain in the lower back.

My parents say crick, but just as a joke. The real pronunciation is creek.

Well, I live in Southeastern Pa and I say creek.
The correct pronunciation is the way it is spelled. It's spelled creek and that's how you pronounce it.
Pronunciation depends on where you live and what you're used to. It's Creek no matter what but people say crick.
Creeks right!!

Creek....'a natural stream of water smaller than river
pronounced (krÄk, krÄk)
Crick...A painful cramp or muscle spasm, as in the back or neck
pronounced (krik)
Both pronounciations are correct.

If there's fish in it, it's a creek. If there's not, it a crick.

There are regional differences in pronunciations... ask them to spell it! A creek is a body of water--- crick is a pain in your neck!
You say TOE-MAY-TOE, I say TOE-MAH-TOE.... but either way it's spelled tomato.
