what is the exact meaning of crap?
  

Top answer

It has more than one meaning. For example, it can mean "feeces" (Merriam-Webster), "solid waste passed from your bowels" (Longman). But another meaning is "nonsense", and yet another is "rubbish -- something of bad quality".

  • PS: Yes, I misspelled feeces, because otherwise it'd get censored.

Some of us (with very literal minds) have a strong dislike for the word no matter which way it's used. I never use it myself, even to mean "rubbish" or "nonsense," and tend to avoid people who use it that way frequently.

I never realize your realisitic sense of homor. But I like to add another variety to your comment which is more truthful than anything else. Have you heard the US politicians drumming up support with their campaign speeches? That's authentic ****!
