We used to catch them in the creek that runs through the Portland Golf Course.

Not arguing here...I understand that there are proper or correct names for things...
And yep regional names and terms are vastly different as well as fun to study.
But where I grew up if you said :
"Hey lets go get some crayfish ..."
Or
"How 'bout we catch some crawfish..."
You would be met with a blank stare and the question : " Huh , what are you talkin' bout...?"
Would be posed to you...
So at some times and places...the regional name or term , may be more proper...if ya want to be understood.
Crawdads they are and will remain , for me at least.

Cucumber clip for a jewmatic bullet hose (aka, uzi magazine)Yes, "proper" was a joke. People can use whatever name they want.

Crayfish or crawdad? Mapping US dialect variations with R
I grew up in Australia, where I learned to speak English. Or so I thought: when I moved overseas to the UK, and especially when I moved to the States, I soon learned these are distinct cultures separated by a common language. Words which I previously had no context for being different anywhere...blog.revolutionanalytics.com
Hey now. One of the forum rules is to be excellent to each other. I think bringing in enough cra(y)wdads(fish) for a proper boil for all of us would be the only acceptable way to be excellent. I'll bring the Zataran's and andouille sausagethanks for the replies. Andy, I'll try to get some out of the Nooksak, and maybe a few lakes when we can fish again.
Nope.... all of you are wrong... it's Craydad.Its crawfish.

Tasty little buggers.
I wonder if you could feed them cantaloupe long enough to add a sweet flavor to them. Anybody up for investing in my new farm raised boutique flavored crawdad business?One guy had heard that cantaloupe work work, so he was fishing with that.
Lo and behold that stuff works !
Yes and they're everywhere, but we call them crawdads in this part of the country.......The first time I heard someone call it a crayfish I knew they weren't from around here.

In Hawaii they're called fresh water prawns. Guessing that they are different as they are considerably larger than our local kind here. Used coconut for bait on trap. Not kidding!Same for me. I'd only heard of crawdads until I was in an adult, then I moved to the South where they have crawfish shrines. I don't remember the first time I heard crayfish, but it was a northerner and I assumed it was a fancier crawfish. I always thought they were different beings until I got curious and looked it up one day. It's still difficult for me to grasp that those gross things I played with as a kid in muddy creeks are the same things I'd eat pounds of every weekend.
That's hilarious, my wife is an Aussie and she always calls them, "yabbies". She grew up a country girl and used to catch them in the creeks around where she grew up.
