In Oklahoma we called them crawdads. In Louisiana they are crawfish.
Colloquialism--I'm sure that's spelled wrong.

Aren't they also called "Mud Puppies"?? I seem to recall that term from when we lived in Texas.

Another popular local name is Mudbug.
I grew up drinking Pop. Moved to South Arkansas and it was Soda Water. Moved to Louisiana and it's Coke, no matter what brand it is. In various parts of the U.S. I've heard it called Soda, Cola, and Soda Pop. It's all the same, Crawfish, Crawdads, Mudbugs, Crawfish. But if you call it by the wrong name in the wrong place people will know you're a Yankee!

DonM, I don't know how old your friends (DNJ, Fran, Travelin'Easy, UD and more) are. If they are getting on in years they could be at the slobbering stage while eating. What do you think things may look like after an evening of eating Mudbugs. Tragic!!!

Well, none of them are in their teens! We'll use lobster bibs.
I'm sure Gary will bring a keg of Kickapoo Joy Juice.
