"what a crock"
Its actually spelled kroc . due to Ray Kroc buying the rights to the Macdonalds food chain and screwing the original Macdonald brothers out of the deal . the deal was originally purchased with a contract and an old fashion hand shake . but then Ray Kroc didn't hold up to the hand shake deal and the Macdonald brothers were screwed . Even the current Macdonalds history doesn't mention the original Macdonald brothers born in Manchester NH , and opening the original in Southern California . Even plaques in the restaurant mention Ray Kroc as being the originator of Macdonalds Inc , but again this is all a "kroc of sh.t"

"Used as an image of worthless rubbish since 19c., perhaps from the use of crockery as chamberpots. But there were other uses of crock, of uncertain relationship, such as "an old ewe" (1520s, Scottish), used contemptuously of debilitated or invalid persons (19c.). Also compare Middle English croke, crok "a hull, husk," figuratively "refuse," Low German krak "a thing of no value," colloquial English crock "soot, smut" (1650s)."
