I had no idea that crap actually meant excrement until I was about 10. We used it all the time for something bad, poor, shoddy etc as per Glatt.
Shit was a Very Bad Word. I've trained myself to say Shoot now, even when I'm not at school, so it doesn't slip out accidentally. As it were.

British TV doesn't bleep fuck. If a programme has the word in, it's broadcast after the watershed (21.00) in which case the fuck is kept in. It's possible British programmes shown in America bleep it I suppose (BBC America maybe?)
