What does the term “taking a crap” come from?

Thomas Crapper (1837-1910)

Thomas Crapper was one of several eminent sanitary engineers of his era to develop and market the flush toilet. His major innovation was a method of controlling the water flow from the cistern. He was well thought of in his field, and even drew the attention of the royal family, installing the sanitation at Sandringham when it became a royal residence. He lived at 12 Thornsett Road between circa 1897 and 1910
