There was a conflict between the Fitness industry and the Plumbers and Pipefitters ultimately resolved in court regarding gimcrack.
The Fitness folks wanted to change the spelling to gymcrack for patrons with excessively tight or low-riding yoga pants.
The plumbers prevailed however and deleted the gim creating what is now known simply as a plumber’s crack.
