From a previous post:
10. ☐ Visually inspect motor windings for impacted sawdust/crud.
A search of the internet reveals that no one seems to know where this term came from. Although, in 1947 I heard a Marine Corps vet use the term and he said it was what the medical corpsmen and doctors used to describe foot and other exterior diseases due to the conditions in the Pacific during the war. It was an acronym (Chronic Recurring Undiagnosed Disease). Now it seems to mean anything that is dirt, waste, filth, other impacted materials. Microsoft even opted to use the term to mean Create – Read – Update – Delete. So, acronyms evolve.
CRAP– We all know that term. It has one meaning, which applies to small businesses, corporations, utilities, local, state and especially the federal government. And occasionally what you have to put up with at home.
Chronic Recurring Administrative Problems. (At home substitute Attitude). The bigger the organization the more CRAP you have to deal with. The problem with the current administration is that the CRAP has increased tenfold. Thomas CRAPper would roll over in his grave if he were alive today.
IMHO (delete H) Crap flows downhill. If you ain't at the top it's gonna hit you. But then, where is the top? Everybody answers to somebody and everybody answers to WHOMEVER is at the top. So, it all flows downhill. Unless you have crap-protector insurance you're going to be hit.
