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.

    I raised my children not on the word, but the intention of the word. When they were saying “crap you” they meant “fuck you”, and once they were made aware of it they stopped (saying it in front of me, anyway lol). So be aware that people will pick up on the intention and not necessarily the word.
