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.
Crap isn’t swearing.
It is a little bit. It’s not exactly not swearing
Same realm as “Dang” and “Darn”. Someone getting mad about it is just trying to tone police.

Not sure what part of the UK you’re from, but that’s absolutely not the case (at least in the North West where I’m from).
Crap is a bit of a crude word, but I don’t know anybody who would consider it being an actual swear word. For clarity, I’m using the definition of a swear word where it’s something you’d have to censor on public air.
If someone said “dang” or “darn” around here, you’d get a raised eyebrow and everyone would just think you’re from the US because we just don’t use those words here.
but is it exactly not not swearing?
Ok maybe not, but you don’t talk about pooping in class. Crap is the same usage. It not swearing, just not applying to talk about
