Crap, whichever way you look at it (4)
I believe the answer is:
poop
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'crap' is the first definition.
('poop' can be a synonym of 'crap')
'whichever way you look at it' is the second definition.
(Other definitions for poop that I've seen before include "Tony" , "Exhaust" , "Highest aftmost deck" , "Deck at the rear of a ship" , "Whichever way you see them, the facts" .)
