Two youths deep in conversation were observed in a fast food restaurant. The slight whispers, the dry laughter, and the raunchy dialogue of the two teenagers filled the silent restaurant. It seemed as if one teenager was in charge of the conversation. He was handing out stories to the other teen as if the stories were candy. Suddenly the other teen laughed hysterically and said, “None of that’s true, Charles. You’re full of crap!”
“You’re full of crap!” It seems that everywhere we go, we here the word “crap” being used in one form or another. How would someone unknown to the word crap be able to decipher its use? We must first understand how we got such a term, how modern versions evolved from previous versions of the word, and how we use the word today.
