    It is creek in the north and crick in the south.

    It's not crick in the south unless you live in a hillbilly zone or in the mountains perhaps.

    Not completely true. I have met people from upstate New York and rural Pennsylvania who say crick.

    Creek, as in stream, scēne or piece -- Aussie for anything from a perennial stream to a tiny intermittent rivulet

    Over the years I have forced myself to pronounce it "creek", as not only was I taught to pronounce it "crick", but my all my kinfolk still pronounce it "crick". (Bless their lil ol' pea-pickin' hearts)'

    I pronounce it creek.  Crick is what you get in your neck when you sleep in an odd position.
