CRAPPIE or CROPPIE ???

[Nihiser]

Well, for me it depends on the day. If I'm catchin' them I call them Cr-ah-pie, but on days when I cant find them I usually call them things I can't post on this forum.

... it's all been hashed & rehashed, before. But, with this many members, you gotta expect differences of opinion. We all agree to disagree, without retaliation, so let's not let a simple question get us all in a tizzy :D

Generally speaking : it's pronounced "croppie"
In some regional areas : it's pronounced "crappie"

Pronunciation: \ˈkrä-pē\
Function: noun
Etymology: Canadian French crapet
Date: circa 1827

Supposedly, it comes from a French/Canadian verbilization of "crapet" from a French word used for crepes (pancakes), supposedly due to the shape of the fish resembling a pancake. I say "supposedly", because there's no definitive proof, as of yet, that this is the origin of the word. The English verbilization of the "et" part of "crapet" ... is a long E (ee) sound - whereas the French verbilization of "et" is more of an "eh" sound. So 'krop eh' becomes 'krop ee' .... or something like that. :p

Anyway ... bottom line is - call'em what you want, pronounce it how you will ... it's all good. No need to get a N vs S, us vs them polarizing debate going. The title had enough info to warn people of its content ... so, if you don't wish to offer a respectable answer, or you're tired of the same question periodically returning, then I suggest you just skip past it
