It may be that the word 'crapper' and crap became popular because Thomas Crapper popularized the flushable toilet and not a coincidence at all.
From Wikipedia: "The profanity 'crap' was in use long before Crapper was born."
Wow.... I'm impressed that he put his name into good use. Mr. Crapper deffinately gets my vote.
:-)
Sorry to be a nag, but it's spelled 'D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y'.

Dr. Winston Paine, DDS. And he's still practicing in Albuquerque, NM (link provided). Top that one! (And lend me your vote.)
I just heard -- from John Webb, web developer -- that this phenomenon is called an 'aptonym'. Makes sense. See also: http://homepage.mac....ex2.html#wiaa

my 3 contributions were all actively practicing in Ridgewood, NJ in the 80's/90's, if memory serves
