Crick = creek
I'm not sure who called it this but I've heard it referred to as BO juice.I just remembered another one: Our DS calls deodorant "pit stick", apparently a term all the guys used at summer camp.
The funny thing is that if you said that to me I'd probably figure it out, since it's not that different from saying "red sauce". Or I'll mix it up with red eye gravy.We say a lot of things that are local but odd to everyone else. Spaghetti sauce is “red gravy”. We have also started some words that DS (2.5) made up.

We had family friends who called it "No Bathe".I just remembered another one: Our DS calls deodorant "pit stick", apparently a term all the guys used at summer camp.
My dad used to call soy sauce "bug juice".
I refer to our freezers as the fridge freezer (self explanatory) and the freezer freezer (chest freezer). This started when I still lived at home and needed to know where to put groceries.
Dish rags are schmattes
Bath robes are schlafrocks
Which would probably be less weird if we were either Jewish or German.
Like a PP, we also call the TV remote control the "clicker"
Well, recalling how my DS used to come home from his camp weeks (years and years as both a camper and a counsellor), I think your friend's are onto something.We had family friends who called it "No Bathe".
Our family has several. Lollipops are "sucker bars", and our daughters always got "square gum" (like chicklets) in their Christmas stockings. Instead of saying six of one, half dozen of another, we just say "sixes". Our Grandsons call their bottoms "Sweet Rolls". My husband calls our Honeymoon our Wedding Vacation.
I have heard the term bug juice, but we don't really use it in our family. I have heard someone else say that they call it giggle juice, because of the noise that it makes when it comes out of the bottle.
Those are Yiddish words.
