How do you say it?

[joejv4]

crappie... To me this rhymes with happy, but some folks pronounce it "crop-ee"

So the question for this poll is "How do you say crappie?"

[gabowman]

joejv4, that's surprising! I though ALL yankees called them crop-ie.:D

[REDBOAT]

I am happy to catch crappie

[luvjign]

Just pleeeeaaassseee don't add an "s" on the end of it :D

[painterfish]

dont think a true southern would be caught dead catching a crop-ie

[luvjign]

Just pleeeeaaassseee don't add an "s" on the end of it :D

I thought I could find evidence that it was "crappie" whether it was one, or a cooler full.........But, this site, as well as others say you add the "s" :rolleyes:

I still say "cooler full of crappie" (pronounced: croppy)

[gilby1955]

my ex father-in law, who taught me how to catch them, called them croppie but in NC we call them crappie and great with hushpups

In So Ga we pronounce it specks as in speckled perch. In consideration of friends from other areas that don't know what a speck is, I sometimes call them crappie (like happy)

Back about a year and a half ago I asked everyone the same question and we had a good time figuring it out. Here is the thread.
