Raised in Texas, all I ever knew to call them were croppie. I got kidded a lot here in Georgia my first few years here until I learned to call them crappie. I would go to Texas each Spring to fish Cedar Creek Lake where my mom and dad lived and they would laugh when I called them crappie.
Dad always said he would rather eat a croppie than a crappie.
Can't argue with that but the correct pronunciation is crap-pee.
Personally, I think we should do like the South Georgia and most Florida folks do and just call them specks.

Funny story about my grandma, years ago when they still delivered block ice to the houses, a man came around selling "pecans"...
"Mrs. Lord, would you like some pe-CANS?"
"No thank ya, we use lard buckets!".
*LOL*

Wrong!
It's Sac-au-lait - pronounced "sack oh lay".
If you insist on calling it that incorrect name, then it's crOppie.
You yankees...
Hunt/fish safely,

All I had ever heard in MS was croppie or white perch. Been in Ga for 20 years now and call them crappie. Took some getting used to this Ga lingo. I will never forget the first time in georgia when I went to the store and asked where the nabs were? People over here didn't even know what a barpit was.

Re:
