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.
It is a little bit. It’s not exactly not swearing
but is it exactly not not swearing?
Same realm as “Dang” and “Darn”. Someone getting mad about it is just trying to tone police.
It’s a slightly less harsh version of “shit”. I don’t know where you’re from, but it’s absolutely considered a swear word in Britain and much less tolerated than “dang” or “darn” lmao
Nah, you’re just gonna get pegged as someone with little language skills who has a bad attitude. It’s one thing if you don’t care but calling everything crap at work, especially if you have customers or a partner in the room absolutely makes a poor impression. You should really use it in a professional setting only when you’ve thought through the impact.
