Crapula is my favorite Zemblan word: it means hangover. For example, Yeg har en plokhoya crapula.

NB: That sentence is my own stupid version of Zemblan in which no case endings are needed. Because I can't be bothered with cases. I'm busy tending this horrible crapula.

I did not know that.
The first time I saw it in print was in "Raise High the Roofbeams Carpenters" By everyone's friend JD Salinger copyrighted in 1955. I'm sure he says somewhere something like "...that crapulous year that was 1942..."

Why you no come round no more HA HA HA? We all miss you something shit.

The word'crap' as it relates to scatology originates from one Thomas Crapper, the royal plumber to King Eddie VII. That's not really to the point though, is it? I've heard people say 'craptastic' before. Um, gotta go.

The word crap is much older than Edward VII's plumber. It derives from the Middle English word crappe, meaning chaff, hence something worthless. Thomas Crapper was just unlucky.

Anyway, on the same page of the Chambers Dictionary is the word crassulaceous, which has nothing to do with lace.

I'm not so sure Thomas Crapper was unlucky you know. I think some people are drawn to their vocations through environmental factors - like their names - making this rather more inevitable than just by dint of chance. Used to be that lots of people called Smith became smiths, Cooper became barrel-makers (fuck only knows why that was) and so on. If your name contains the word 'crap' it's really only a matter of time before you get interested in plumbing.

It also explains a lot about the sort of people who live in Scunthorpe.
