Sorry but this has been bugging the heck out of me.  How do you pronounce 'crappie'?  Is it crap-ie or crop-ie?

Croppie is how it is supposed to be pronounced.

Hooked on phonics worked for me....crappie just like its spelled.

You are from Maryland so as always you are caught in the middle.  Southerners consider you a yankee so I am sure that CROPPIE is the way to go.

 

If you were down here in NC and called it a croppie we would all know immediately that you were a yankee.

 

Since we are not as sophisticated we tend to say things they way they are spelled.  And yes, on occasion we do enjoy doing things just to tweak the noses of other people.

 

Try perch!

My buddy calls them silver perch.....i had no idea what he was talking about till he showed me a picture of a mess of them his dad caught.

Kids laugh at crap-ee.

The various dictionaries are not in agreement. Some say CRAP-pie and others say CROP-pie while others say one but give the other as an acceptable alternative.

 

I've always said CRAP-pie.

Croppie

I actually use both and switch it up between the 2.  Personally I think that both of them sound funny.  Seems like rather than a right way/wrong way its more of a personal preference/regional dialect.

Croppie, or disappointing, whichever. 

i think its crop ie but since my friend gets ticked when i call it crap ie but i get to laugh so i call it crap ie hahahaha

Crap-pie, the way its supposed to be said. If you say croppie around here youll get all sorts of funny looks

Down here in the South, we tend to say crap-ee. Iv met a few people that pronounce it crop-ee, but its not many.

The crap-pe bite was good today.

So true.

I do this too. If I say the word multiple times in a single conversation, I'll usually pronounce it both ways Some people seem confused by this.

It's croppie here in TX.
