Morphology

rush + to + the + crapper

The meaning is directly compositional: 'rush' (move quickly) + 'to the crapper' (to the toilet) yields 'go quickly to the bathroom.' Although 'crapper' is slang/informal, if a learner knows the constituent words the overall sense is immediately inferable and follows a basic motion verb + destination pattern.

Etymology

Rush to the crapper puts together rush, meaning to hurry, and crapper, a rude old word for the toilet. One popular story says 'crapper' comes from a plumber's name, so it paints a picture of someone racing to the toilet because they must go now, and that is why it means 'to go to the bathroom' quickly.
