Cricker Tee
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.

Wore it to school.
Love this shirt so much
I love this t-shirt that says morbussy. It allows me to show off both my love for Morbius and the fact that I get no Morbussy.
This shirt feels great, perfect fit too.
Great looking t-shirt. Good quality. Printing looks good.
Cool I didn’t order anything I just have a lot of free time and not a lot of hobbies
Fun and soft.
Good stuff! Although, I do have a sneaking suspicion that this is cursed. You see, whenever i dawn this top-teir, soft, stylish shirt - I proceed to pass out within 46 seconds. The mere act of making contact with the material insues the process of this countdown starting. If I do not quit contact, i will lose conciousness the exact moment the countown hits 0. And when I regain clarity, I find myself in a bathtub - never mine, but a bathtub nevertheless. In the bathtub, there is always various colours of hairdye. I then have to go back home, shirt stained with dye. Very fashionable though! 10/10

Got it for a friend! He loved it
Size was accurate, and printed text was as displayed online. Doesn't hurt that the material is pretty soft either.
mine says "ass" on it lol
Good Decent, comfortable by all means
My wife bought this for me, my only thing about the shirt, is the big Vernon on the front. I think I would prefer it situated and smaller type as if overva pocket. Other than that I love it. Seems to be of good quality and easy wearability, but I have only tried it on, so am uncertain. Thank you for making my day
