| May 12, 2014 at 9:15 | comment | added | ЯegDwight | I am migrating this to ELL because any native speaker will easily identify crap as a euphemism for shit, and as such less rude by definition. | |
| May 12, 2014 at 9:13 | comment | added | ЯegDwight | Not only that, but neither crap nor shit are slang. Slang is "very informal usage in vocabulary and idiom that is characteristically more metaphorical, playful, elliptical, vivid, and ephemeral than ordinary language, as Hit the road." Shit and crap are the exact opposite of slang. | |
