I had kind of thought that, but wasn't 100% sure. Thought there might be some other link to Scooby Doo other than just sounds like.

Does anyone know where the term was first "publically" used?
A set of clear side indicators to the first correct answer

Thanks folks, that's good enough for me.
I had someone ask me the otherday and said it related to Scooby Doo, but after saying it I thought... is that really the real reason... I guess it is.
Cool !

scooby doo was orginally used as rhyming slang for a xr2, and i guess as a lot of scooby owners previously had xr2's (scoobydoos) it has probably carried on.

Not fair. I'm sure Dave T-S has answered this two or three times already, and scoob indicators won't fit on his VX220
By the way, by "publically", do you mean "in a pub"?

So where did the term 'Jap Crap' come from?
