The Difference Between Crap and Shit

It amuses the hell out of me that the word crap is acceptable on radio and television while its synonym shit isn't. Apparently, the FCC sees some kind of difference between these two words that somehow casts crap in a more favorable light than shit. I actually see it the other way 'round. Crap sounds like a much bigger mess than shit. Shit sounds streamlined and precise, whereas crap sounds scattered and splattered. Shit is like a laser; crap is like a thermos full of nitroglycerin. Maybe that's just my fucked up opinion. You don't care. I feel compelled to apologize for wasting the last minute or so of your life.

No need to appologize, I think crap sounds worse than shit too.

I feel the only time shit sounds splattery is when it hits the fan.

Perhaps crap is more like a bad thing, a mess? And shit is too much grafic about animal excrement? I don't know... I'm asking you as a stranger, from Barcelona, Spain, Europe.
BYE!!

I like your thinking. :)

I actually think poo sounds worse than both. It sort of describes the shape of the bumhole as it excretes said substance. It's a word more likely to be associated with excrement, so in my opinion that makes it more offensive.

Here in Catalunya, Spain, people who goes to mountains, sing this song:
Mountain shit doesn't stink,
even if you are revolving it with a stick!
Born on the Bayou...1
Born on the Bayou...!
HA, HA, HA, HA...!!!

Shit sounds runny and messy, crap sounds drier, like a turd.
