Crick was a thing when I lived in MD/WV. Thankfully, it's been creek ever since. I've never understood why anyone would call a small, flowing body of water a crick. It's not something that can be treated with heat and massage.

A lot of people around here say crick, but it seems like they're always saying it sarcastically...I have no idea why.
 
I grew up saying crick. I'll say creek in formal company/work, but I vacillate casually.
 
Also, was saying mango for green pepper a regional or family thing. I was an older teenager before I knew that a mango was not a green pepper.
