Prediction: someday someone will invent the toilet and soon indoor plumbing will solve all this.
Thomas Crapper had the most popular early company but the first patent for the flushing toilet was issued to Alexander Cummings in 1775. In 1777 Samuel Prosser invented and patented the ‘plunger closet’. Joseph Bramah of Yorkshire patented the first practical water closet in England in 1778.
Most toilets displayed the company logo ‘Thomas Crapper & Co Ltd’. The US soldiers stationed in England at the time started referring to the toilet as “the Crapper” and brought that slang term back with them to the United States. The slang word for toilet became more widely taken up and is still being used today.

So “Oh Crap” “Clean Up Your Crap! and “Taking a Crap” all originated from the name Thomas Crapper.
that is interesting history
I had no idea that indoor toilets have been around for almost 250 years
