broq

broq is a colloquial term used primarily in North America, particularly in Canada and parts of the northeastern United States, to refer to a small, often rocky or muddy stream or creek. The word is thought to have Old Norse origins, possibly related to the word "bro," meaning bridge, or "brook," a more common English term for a small stream. The usage of "broq" is informal and not recognized in standard English dictionaries. It is often employed in rural or semi-rural contexts where such geographical features are prevalent. The pronunciation of "broq" typically rhymes with "rock." While its exact etymology is debated, its common usage points to a localized dialectal variation for a natural watercourse.
