| Oct 4, 2015 at 22:27 | comment | added | hunter | It is impossible to compare "level of obscenity" from language alone, since it also depends on culture. For instance, "shit" is usually censored from American broadcast media whereas you'll certainly hear plenty of "merde" on French reality shows. But one could deduce from this either that "merde" is less vulgar than "shit" or that the words are equally "bad" and it's a difference in how the society reacts to them. | |

Add username in question.
