crapping up

Degrading the quality

To crap up something is to make it worse through careless additions or modifications—cluttering, degrading, or ruining it: They crapped up the interface with unnecessary features.

The phrase suggests fouling something that was fine before, treating unwanted changes as contamination.

Related to crap out (to fail) and the general sense of crap as worthless stuff.
