Quotation marks around the term suggests possible meologism. F94 Crap-paper (NN) - Obs. Source: Dictionary of Geneseo English, Fall 1998 Simmington Crap-paper (NN): toilet paper. Definition of approximately 14% of those surveyed. (F06) Unknown by approximately 86% of those surveyed. (F06) Simmington, D. McGiveron This term is relatively obsolete now. It’s usage is very rare and it’s current definition is drastically different from it’s original recorded entry. Simmington (F06) Completely obsolete, 2012. K. Andryshak

Comments:

Ah, a derogatory term for the Lamron. I never hear "crap paper" but we have certainly moved on to "Lame-ron."

0% of those surveyed were familiar with this term. It appears to be obsolete. (Ali, A-F, 2019)
