Turns out, he meant "crap," not what came to my mind, thankfully. I nearly had an aneurysm, wondering where he'd heard the other c-word. He's not quite seven.

Like Sarah said, it's not cussin', but it is rude and certainly crass for a kid to say. I still don't even say "suck" or "screwed" in front of my kids, but lots of my parents drop the f-bomb in front of theirs (and mine, which sucks). “Crap” is gateway profanity.

I would not get bent out of shape if an eight year old said "crap," because if you do, there's no where to go when he drops the S-bomb.

No. Is it rude, and not acceptable in polite company or said by a small child? I would say very much yes. Is it profanity?
