I know this is over 400 years ago, but who would name their son crapper.
"Hey crap, help your dad out."
Lol

'Crap' was an ancient word for rubbish or chaff which had fallen out of use in Britain by the end of the 16th century, therefore in Victorian times there was nothing amusing about the surname 'Crapper'. However early English settlers to America took the word with them and so in the U.S.A. it has been used continuously, although always considered a rather vulgar word.

Thomas Crapper invented the toilet tank way up high for better flush power

Not true. First flushing toilet was discovered to be invented over 2000 years ago. Good job. This site is incredibly inaccurate and false! It has no credibility, I can't read anymore, because it's all just wrong
