万物拟声法
词源不确定，可能来自拟声词。人们常把该粗俗词与发明抽水马桶的19世纪英国卫生工程师Thomas Crapper(1837-1910)相联系。有一种传统说法，认为crap一词的各种形式，不管用作名词、动词还是感叹词，不管用于本义，指“屎”，还是用于引申义，指“废话”，都源于此人的姓氏Crapper，特别是它的相关词，意指“厕所”的crapper。这种说法似乎颇有道理。但Crapper是在1882年发明抽水马桶的，而crap一词则在多年以前就已见诸使用。由此看来，Crapper的大名只是一种有趣的巧合，当然他的发明很可能有助于crap一词的传播和使用。究其根源，crap实源于中世纪荷兰语crappe‘scraps’（碎片，废物）。

小知识
Crap is a versatile word, usually meaning feces, stuff, or garbage. It's definitely slang but not really obscene.
This is a word that's on the borderline between acceptable slang and potty language. You can be 100% sure that saying the s-word (which means almost exactly the same thing as crap) will get you in trouble if you said it in class, but crap isn't so clear cut. It's sort of naughty but getting less naughty all the time. But whether you're taking a crap (pooping) or being told to get all the crap (junk) off your desk, you'll find that crap of any kind is never held in high regard.
