Why do they call it that. They are predators. I had one in the fish
tank and when the betta tried his tough guy act, the crawfish killed
and ate it.

In Southern slang, "to crawfish" is to walk backwards, like they often
do. When they sense danger, the crawfist retreats backwards into
hiding (as in beating a hasty retreat in a cowardly manner).

In 'real' southern slang, wouldn't they say 'crawdaddied'?

Maybe so, John. But you have to remember, most of these folks are not
Ivy League educated. The college grads here mostly went to well-
regarded state universities, which, while not in the Ivy League
category, probably are better than having gone to somwhere in, say ...
Kansas.

Speaking of that old Kansas retread cub reporter. Weuns plumb tuckered

done.
