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.

    Context matters, to your friends or friends parents, probably okay. To someone you should be showing respect like teachers, probably never going to go over well.

      It was like this. I made a mistake in an excersize and said “oh crap”. Although you are right not to say that to a teacher, but saying it the way I did should be fine, right?
