Excuse me Your Highness. I fear it is high time for me to be watering the cricketfield.

Would you like my groundskeeper to help you with that? She's very good with a hose.

I fear not M'am. Jolly good thought though.

cricklet

in Kirksville MO's society, a young/baby cricker.

Word originated from Ponderosa employees who hate tuesday nights because its kid night and all the crickers would bring in their cricklets and let them run wild all over the store.

Cricklets can result from two crickers hooking up or one cricker and one normal person or even two normal people.

Scientists arent sure but they believe that cricklets result in a malfunction in the human sperm, also known as bad baby batter.
Man it's cricklet night at Pondo again!

Cricker

A term that derived in Kirksville, Missouri, this was an actual place. My father remembers seeing a 1950's map displayed in the City Hall that labeled the creek ('crick') where the city sewer discharged as 'Shit Creek (Crick)'. This creek was located at the bottom of Osteopathy Hill just north of the hospital and drained generally westward into 'the holler'. Today this is a fairly upscale area but back then it was mostly unoccupied land except by the 5 poorest families in Kirksville. Most of these families lived in tarpaper shacks with galvanized tin roofs and dirt floors. So in the beginning it was an actual location. Example- "I saw a huge deer at Shit Crick the other night when we were out riding around and drinking beer." Later, it referred to those living in the vicinity. Example- "Yeah, I saw that So-and-So Cricker the other night at the Red Angus." It was soon shortened to just 'cricker'.

By the mid 60's/ early 70's, it was a very derogatory term. It was about the absolute worst insult one could use. It meant a low-down, worthless bum, worse than white-trash. A liar, thief, a druggie. An unprincipled, unreliable, irresponsible person who was uneducated and unwilling to better themselves.

This term was not known widely outside of Kirksville until sometime around 1990. In Memphis in the early 90's when I was apologizing for being filthy from the farm and "looking like a cricker". No one knew what it meant unless they had been employed or lived in Kirksville.
"I blew a tire at Shit Crick the other night." "You are such a Cricker! Why don't you get a job?" "We went to a party at Circle Drive the other night. You know- down in the Holler past Shit Crick." "You lost your license? How are you gonna get to work? I guess you're up Shit Crick now, huh?"

Sabretooth Crotch Crickets

(n.) (pl.) A term that often refers to the most advanced stage of pubic lice. However, Sabretooth Crotch Crickets (SCCs) are a seperate (but related) secies.

SCCs are found in the pubic region of exceptionally promiscuous females and males (human). While shaving and intense washing can sometimes lower the population of an SCC nest, SCCs have never been known to disappear completely within the host's lifetime. Hosts often fail to realize the severity of their condition before the number of SCC's around/on their genitalia number in the high teens or more.

SCCs, occasionally described as miniature Hercules Beetles, have proportianlly large pincers; however these can vary in configuration from cricket to cricket.

When provoked (rough sex will do it), SCCs often emit a low-volume hissing or buzzing sound to warn of a painful attack (the onset of this sound is in fact when many affected people first realize that something is horribly wrong down south--otherwise, SCCs do not usually draw attention to themselves and can be quite reclusive). This sound is regularly exaggerated by people unfamiliar with SCCs, because it's damn funny if someone else has them but you don't.
Dude #1: "Yeah, I'm going over by *girl's name*'s apartment tonight...I think it's gonna be a wild time..."
Dude #2: "Don't do it, seriously! Tony told me he was gonna hit that sheeit one time and there wuz SCCs all up in it"
Dude #1: "What the ? are SCCs? You just playin' right?"
Dude #2: "I thought you knew...it means Sabretooth Crotch Crickets, man! Back off the nasty 'tang, bro!"
Dude #1: "Aw DAMN! I thought I was gonna git me some tonight...thanks for the heads up though."
