In both American and Brazilian cultures, crude expressions are generally considered inappropriate in formal settings, professional environments, and polite company. However, they may be more tolerated in casual, informal settings among friends. Brazilian Portuguese tends to have equally colorful crude expressions reflective of its rich informal vernacular. The use of crude language is often associated with lack of education or refinement, though context and intent matter significantly in social interpretation.
