Is the word c**p a bad word?

Question

Is the word c**p a bad word?

Answer 1

Yes. It's a word for people with no courage of their convictions. They're trying to sound or be tough but can't quite make it.

Either use the real word "****" or don't bother using it. If you can't say "****" in that particular situation (a job interview, for example) then you shouldn't say "c**p" either.

Answer 2

Depends how old you are ;-}  It's usually not considerd near as bad as sh--, but it's not a word you would want to drop in conversation with a teacher or parent, I think.

Answer 3

for a young child, yes. For an adult, no.
