Where would you most likely find a flapper in plumbing and what would it most likely be used to do?
A toilet flapper is found inside the tank of a toilet. It is a rubber stopper that rests over the water outlet. As the bowl is flushed, the apparatus lifts the flapper over the drain outlet hole. As the bowl and tank refills, the apparatus drops the flapper so it is again seated over the drain hole. Once the water in the tank reaches a certain level, the water automatically stops. Note: If your toilet constantly runs, most likely the flapper has not completely seated itself in the hole. Hard water can cause mineral deposits around the drain which prevents the flapper from seating properly. Also the rubber can become old and leak around the edges.NOTE: Not to be confused with 1920s "flappers", women who dressed in short skirts, gaudy jewelry and headbands, and were fond of dancing.

HOW do you fix a toilet that sprays water out of the bowl when flushed?
I would suspect you may have a leak in the toilet. You will need to remove and replace it. Of course water will evaporate over time if the toilet is not used occasionally. or The flapper inside the back of the toilet holding tank may not be sealing correctly. Sometimes just adjusting the flapper may work (it may be caught on the chain)...other times a new flapper will have to be purchased (a very common item at any hardware store) and installed. The part should be around $5.00.
