I guess it depends on where you're from. 'Round here it's okay to use as a
polite alternative to the other word that begins with "s" (also means
feces). Sure, it's harsh critizism to call something "crap", but I don't
consider it "dirty" language.
To guage this problem, what would a movie be rated if the strongest word
used was "crap"? I suspect it would be G.
