He seems to have used "crud", which has been almost universally modified into
"crap," so you're really not bowdlerizing _him_. Whatever word you use, the
essential truth of his 'law' remains unassailable.

I had always understood that the word he used was the one most
commonly used for excrement in impolite company.
