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.

    No, a doctor saying they need a shit sample is definitely more shocking than using a medical term, lmao

      My dude, re-read the comment for a sec. A doctor saying they need a “shit sample” or a “cup of your crap” would both be much more shocking than a stool sample.

      … that’s the point.

          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.
