Swear words

I think not. I've been known to say 'that sucks' and my grandchildren refer to boobs when talking about breastfeeding.

I've never uttered the first though as it sounds much worse than 'shit' to me. No idea why.

Shite, yes

Sucks, no

Boobs, no. I remember when I first this around 1972 and it seemed soooo American!

Not in my book although I'm not too keen on 'shite', but my posh DS says it so it can't be bad!

Are 'shite', 'sucks', and 'boobs' swear words?
