Surface Forms

crapola main

Morphology

crapola = crap (transparent) = crap + ola

Formed by adding the colloquial pejorative/slang suffix '-ola' to 'crap', producing an emphatic informal exclamation whose sense is directly inferable from 'crap'.

Etymology

Crapola is a playful form of crap (meaning 'rubbish' or 'bad') with the joking ending -ola, so a quick shout of crapola is like saying 'that's rubbish!' in an angry or amused way.
