if the stream has a name and is labeled "creek" then it is a creek. if it does not have a name it is a crick. for example where I live I have what is called duck creek however there are several smaller cricks that run into the creek.

That's the best way I've ever seen it put.

a crick is in your neck, a creek is where you get water.

One thing I have noticed is a lot of places have Rivers and we call them creeks. Our rivers are typically massive and our creeks and easily be 30' wide or wider. Yet, you get around Colorado and other places and you can literally leap over some of their rivers. :D Trust me, I did... :p

I say creek as it what it is. Even with a NJ accent. I could never figure out what a holler was until I watched The Hatfields and The McCoys...

I was hunting in Kentucky one time and the driver dropped me off and warned me about what he called a river. He said that if it started raining to get back on this side right away. You could stumble and catch yourself on the other side without getting wet is how narrow it was. He insisted it was a river.

"It ain't no crick!", he told me.

Low and behold it did rain a couple days into the hunt and that thing grew about 30 times bigger. The "river" drained all of the fields in the valley.
