SlangThe ship of characters Craig Tucker and Tweek Tweak from the South Park series.
The episode’s humor and heart speak to viewers bemused at the concept of yaoi and devoted “Creek” shippers alike, but it isn’t the child characters learning something by the show’s conclusion. Instead, it’s a father who learns a lesson about being a better parent to his son.
This [“Tweek vs. Craig”] is a regular season 3 outing that aired in June 1999, and I picked it not merely because I'm a hardcore Creek shipper.
Herkunft
Blend of Craig + Tweek (an alteration of tweak).
