Cricker

A classist derogatory term/slur that is used by elitists to dehumanize people who are impoverished, to label people as white trash/dirt ball or people who behave inappropriately in Kirksville society.

Cricker is used in the same malevolent manner as the racial epithet nigger is to demean African Americans. Cricker originated in Kirksville, Missouri when most of Kirksville's poor population lived by a creek (pronounced as crick). Some times the term is used as shit cricker to denote that the creek contained sewage.

The term is also reclaimed by Kirksville's citizens who grew up in that area to remove the word's power.

That cricker never pays his bills.
A woman who dresses as if she is unchaste and uses coarse language in Kirksville's "proper society."
Elitist child to poor child, "I had a shirt like that, but I gave it to the Salvation Army. What a cricker."
A belligerent individual who stirs up trouble, is rowdy, enjoys provoking physical altercations, likes to act tough, get drunk, act the fool, a redneck--this is usually the definition of a shit cricker.
