My neighbor, who is from Missouri, and I, I was raised in Ohio, were talking this afternoon and a subject came up that begs me to ask this question on this forum.

How do you pronounce Crappie in your area? In Virginia, where I am now, it is pronounced like crap with a "y" on the end. In Missouri, and Ohio, it is pronounced like crop with a "y" on the end. Just wondering where the line is that changes it.

guess its either just a east coast west coast thang, or everybody in the interior just wants to pretend its not really pronounced "crap-eeeeeeeeee" \:D \:D \:D

it reminds of that day in elementary school when the teacher asked you to say out loud the name of the 7th planet from the sun......(if you still include Pluto that is) \:\)

Where in Ahia did you grow up, Rick? I'm hoping to grow up here myself one of these years.

It's always been CROP-ee to me; I wonder if the Ahia pronunskiation is one of those North vs. South of I-70 things, like "greasy" versus "greazy", "sack" versus "bag", and "Cleveland Browns/Indians" versus "bunch of losers"?

Croppie, crappie, sac o' lait, all good.

Rick,

It must vary in Michigan. One of my colleagues in fisheries class from the Grand Rapids area pronounced it Crap eeeeeee. Here in Indiana, at least in my area of the state we pronounce it crop eeee.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Most folks here call them White perch , south and west of here its sac o' lait (sack of milk).

The ones here who don't call them WP call them crop - e. You could get some strange angry looks if you said crap-ee near the boat or bucket launch area -- someone might get offended thinking you are talking about their car/pickup or worse their trailer or fish-in gear. \:D ;\)

True ewest! If you announce you are going out to the "crappie" pond ... well you might just be going alone. :p
But heck we rednecks still do it anyway.

good advice ewest, if i ever get invited to fish somewheres other than CA or VA i'll make sure and just say "i'm fishin for panfish".........

just thinkin about the crop-eee pronounciation......ya know no matter how ya say it it aint that apetizing.....cause it sounds like craw-peee, and who'd want to eat something that? \:D

i went far enough on this perch, y'all have fun i gotta make dinner....

It's crappie with an "a" not an "o."

Don't you just feel dumb when you say "croppie?"
I know I do (kidding, just kidding!)

This is a great topic & thread is because we are all so used to reading each others' words. Therefore none of the pronounciations or dialect comes through.

We call them sac-a-lait or white perch around here... about 50/50. Like ewest, I wouldn't dare call one a crappie around strangers. I know some guys that call the big ones "slabs", and it sort of stuck. Now they even call the smaller ones "little slabs".

Man! around the ozarks hills there must be at least a total of 100lbs frying in a pans 24/7. I bet I have ate 10 times my weight in crawpees in my life, and look forward to another batch this spring when the morels start popping up.
