ALL CRAP NO SHIT

The popular belief is that the word 'crap' comes from the name of a 19th century plumber by the name Thomas Crapper. In reality it is thought to have originated from a combination of two words, Dutch Krappen: to pluck off, cut off or separate and Old French Crappe: siftings, waste or rejected matter. Modern English with its inventiveness has embraced this word and has literally turned it on its head. A short dive into all the crap today will throw light on the power of this four letter word.
