Actually, I first heard them called crawdads by my dad when I saw my first
one and asked what it was. I seem to remember looking up the meaning of the
words "crawdad' and "crayfish" to see which term was proper; "crawdad' is a
colloquial term and "crayfish" is the proper term (perhaps someone has
different info on this?). "Crawfish " would seem to be an intermediate term
between the two others. Myself, I prefer to call them "crawdads" instead of

Where I grew up we called them crawldabbers.
