(17,216 posts)Reminds me a bit of the JFK-attributed quote about Canadian PM John Diefenbaker: "I couldn't have called him a son-of-a-bitch. I didn't know he was one at the time!"
Turns out the actual quote was "I didn't think Diefenbaker was a son-of-a-bitch. I thought he was a prick."

(27,137 posts)...requires multiple syllables to be used. Suggesting a higher IQ for the user. At least more agile lips. And it confers a certain respect upon the user since s/he took the trouble to go that extra mile. Whereas the word crap is just one syllable and clearly lower-class. Almost qualifying as a grunt. And anybody can be a piece o' crap. Take the Republican Party for instance.
- But thanks for the clarification. I'll update my NJ-Scandal Program accordingly....

(27,137 posts)...ya see, ''poop'' is the feminine form of the word crap.
- And crap, as I'm sure you've guessed by now, is the vulgar form used almost exclusively by the language-challenged of the male gender (i.e. - Teabaggers, etc.).
