What does CREEK mean in Scrabble?
noun
North AmericanBritish
A small stream, or, especially in British use, a narrow inlet where the sea meets the land.
A creek is a small stream in North American and Australian English, often narrower and shorter than a river. In British English the same word usually means a narrow inlet where the tide reaches inland from the sea, rather than a freshwater stream. Both senses of creek come from the same root and share the idea of a narrow, winding waterway. The word appears in the informal phrase up the creek, meaning in serious trouble.
