As my brother-in-law once said to some small nephews that he was babysitting, who turned out to have the foulest mouths this side of a naval dockyard: “we’re not at home to Mr Swearing”.
I actually teach my kids that calling someone “poophead” is worse than the quote from the first panel. The first panel is using fowl words to express frustration about a situation. The second panel is using more polite words to insult a person… I think insulting a person is worse than using profane words.
e.g. “my teacher is a fat cow” is much worse than “oh sh*t I dropped my phone”. Even though “fat” and “cow” are perfectly acceptable words in other context.

(The bonus panel is ok, but the original comic isn’t censored if you want to check it out.)
