Me (14y male from Poland) got my english teacher annoyed/disappointed after saying the word “crap”. I’m unsure if this is the right place to ask this question but is saying that word considered bad? I always thought it was pretty mild and not a big deal.

    Just because two words are unprofessional doesn’t mean they’re equally vulgar.

      Ok. Go ahead and show they’re not. Give me a single circumstance where “shit” is unacceptable and “crap” is totally fine.

        Television targeted at pre teens and teenagers is a good example, saying shit would feel weird but crap is fine.
