UNMASED MICHAEL

Crick is a colloquial pronunciation and spelling for a small creek or stream. I find Midwestern slang fun. Michael if he didn't decide not to speak, I imagine that he would throw around Bless your heart darlin' before stabbing someone.

Yeah-no / No-yeah is conversational shorthand where "yeah-no" usually means no, and "no-yeah" means yes. Ope! is a versatile exclamation used like "oops" or "excuse me" when accidentally bumping into someone or stepping past them.
