Etymology
Crappy comes from the older word crap, which meant 'rubbish' or 'poop', so people used it for things they thought were worthless or unpleasant. Some people tell a story that it comes from a man named Thomas Crapper, but a helpful way to remember it is to think of crap as 'trash', which is why crappy means 'very bad' or 'of poor quality'.
