Any fisherpersons in your circle of acquaintances? If so, how do they
pronounce this fish:

crappie

Do they turn it into "croppie", to avoid the bad word that will bring
sin
and destruction upon their houses?

No, we say "croppie" because that's the correct way to pronounce it. "-)

They ain't no O in Crappie :-)

*Mode off*

Heard it both ways throughout my life in many parts of the country, but
this
is the first time I've ever heard of sin & destruction tied to the "a"
version :-)


That's the only reason I can come up with for pronouncing it that way, other
than illiteracy. Fake decency examples are everywhere. People in newsgroups
type sh*t instead of shit. Are they kidding?
