Doubt about a bad word Hey, there! A few days ago, I was watching an episode of Stranger Things and one of the children said "screw you" to another child. As far I know this is an alternative way to the f-word. Could anyone tell me how offensive can be this "screw you" expression? Is it normal for children to use this expression? I don't think non-natives should ever use bad words, but it is good to know whether they can be extremely offensive or not.
