I know exactly what you mean.  I've only been around for a year, and it's
driving me nuts.  I am getting tired of searching all the posts for answers
to my own questions before posting, only to get no response, when the same
five questions are asked over and over and over and . . . Ah, well, I'll
stop complaining.  I'm just happy to have OoP in my possession!

I noticed this, and thought basically as you did.  A "crack" must be someone
apparating who isn't as good at it, whereas a "pop" someone very experienced
and adept.  The twins do "crack" when they apparate, by the way.
