“The pressure was so high that several times he did whine!
It was natural and normal, not a petty crime!
He was alright don’t fret you all!
He was just answering the nature’s call!”
Many times you want to curse someone or something and you are a decent guy like me (since I do not like to curse or call names! or say stuff like f@@@!); then you would most probably settle for crap!
Crap of course is a polished form of shit which is also used by many to curse!
The earliest, late 17th century, sense of the noun crap was to mean money. The root of this is standard English crap, waste or chaff or French crape, dirt! In addition the word has roots in the Dutch krappen, to pluck off, cut off or separate – an image that also underpins that of turd, excrement, which comes from Old English tord, that which has been torn or split, i.e. from the body!
Another possible association of Crap with shit may be because of plumber Thomas Crapper! Apparently his name appeared on the once-famous Crapper brand of toilets!
Crapper in spite of his crappy name, however, did not invent the flushing device with which he is so associated! He did patent the U-bend and floating ballcock — key components of the modern toilet — in the late 1880s, but he never held a patent for the flush toilet!
Much earlier, in 1596, John Harington, an English courtier and the godson of Queen Elizabeth I, described what can be considered the first flush toilet (Only two working models were made, one in Haringon’s own home and one in Queen Elizabeth’s palace.)!
The first patent for a flushable toilet was granted to the Scottish inventor Alexander Cumming in 1775 and his design included an S-bend and a more sophisticated valve system, similar to those in today’s toilets!
Thomas Crapper came into the plumbing scene in the 1860s. Between 1881 and 1896, Crapper took out nine plumbing patents, for simple pipe improvements! You could say his patents were just crap!
Even though it feels odd talking about it, the process is one of the most important one which you have to do everyday so thanks to Thomas you can go in peace! Now if you are stuck somewhere with no options then all you can do is dance! Do not dance like birthday celebrity Prabhu Deva though; it may lead to some smelly accidents!
Now use the Crapper…I mean restroom if you have to and sleep peacefully!
Shubh ratri!
