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. "-)

Us, too, down here in Iowa. ;-) I've never heard anyone NOT say
"croppie."

It's pronounced "croppie" in Tennessee as well. My grandfather and I
used to catch them all the time when I was a kid.
