Crik, crikk, or crikking functioned as an offensive curse word. A Besalisk native to Jedha employed this term at one point during the High Republic Era. The expression persisted into the Imperial Era, evidenced by its utterance from Scout trooper Dooze directed towards his superior officer, Altadan Igar. During a chaotic aerial battle, Phaedra's lack of flying proficiency became apparent as she navigated the Millennium Falcon and declared, "Crik... I am in deep poodoo here," thereby acknowledging her predicament.
