Subs or dubs?

Well, words generally heard in anime such as 'kuso' or 'chikusho' tend to be translated as "shit" or "damn it," when that's not necessarily the case. Kuso is the literal word in Japanese for feces. Chikusho is more like 'dang it.' Even with the words accented in times of anger, grief, etc., it remains the same in the language. The Japanese do not consider words like this rude. To make use of such words be vulgar, you would have to incorporate it into a sentence, or sometimes a set of play-on words, to make it seem like you're causing 'harm' to the other whom you're directing your comment to. The words by themselves mean nothing vulgar, yet in anime, people translate it to seemingly vulgar words and make the words seem like they're very bad, when they're not.

Sorry to keep off-topic, but this is a fairly large misconception when it comes to people watching subbed anime and other things and taking certain words out of context and using them inappropriately.
