Sir Thomas Crapper was a brilliant 19th Century hydraulic engineer who
invented the flushing toilet! Countless toilets were marked with his
company name. The resulting development of the word "crap" was
inevitable. End of history lesson.
Personally, I've always had a soft spot for the word. It always seemed
more civil than shit.
