Crawl: Another misspelling or mispronunciation of the word 'Craw' referring to the throat of a bird. Feathers getting stuck in the craw is the origin when preening itself. Its a term for something that sticks in the throat.

The unadulterated version is when talking about something that you have always found bad or distasteful as 'that really sticks in my craw'.

'Crawl' may be a colloquialism or a regional variant of craw.
