Examples

In Hare Bay where I live⟳, people had dogs for hauling wood, and a crackie was no good for that; just a damn crackie. The other definition that I recall⟳ my dad would say⟳; there’s uncle Bob coming up the road and young Jack is chasing him – that’s his son. He’s a real crackie – he’s always chasing his father. Somebody faithful.”
