crappern.2

Brit. /ˈkrapə/, U.S. /ˈkræpər/
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: crap v.2, -er suffix1.
Etymology: < crap v.2 + -er suffix1.The resemblance to the name of the London plumber and toilet manufacturer Thomas Crapper (1836–1910) is almost certainly entirely coincidental, although the word has long been assumed by many to derive from his name. It is conceivable that association with his name appearing on branding on toilets could have helped reinforce the word's currency, although it is notable that most early evidence of the word's use is from U.S. sources.
Originally and chiefly slang.
A toilet; a lavatory.When denoting a toilet facility for communal use, frequently in plural.
