In Norway “shit” is considered the child friendly way of swearing since it’s not religious. I still have no idea why it’s considered swearing in English/USA
Interesting, here in germany I’d say that’s like a medium level swear (the sexual ones are what I’d consider high level, the religious ones usually no one cares about, at least in the north).
I wonder if the 3 usual categories - religious, sexual, fecal - can be approximately ranked (at least with one being the clear “worst” or “least bad”) in every culture or if sometimes it’s all over the place.
