Ways to tell them apart:
- Cramp refers to a physical sensation, often a sudden stiffness or tightening, which can metaphorically restrict or limit actions or freedom.
- Crimp involves shaping or forming something, usually into a textured or ridged pattern, which is more physical and intentional.
- Remember that a cramp is something that happens to you and restricts, whereas a crimp is something you do to modify or style.
- Cramp my style is about being inhibited or held back, while crimp my style implies altering the way something is naturally.
- Think of cramp as something uncomfortable that constrains, and crimp as a deliberate choice to change appearance or texture.
