See? I told you producing lists was pointless!
Swearing is such a localised thing that it becomes nonsensical!
I tried to keep my "must be tagged" list short on purpose, so now I'm going to consider "bastard" to be moved to the "maybe" list since it certainly can be used as a technical term which I completely forgot about!

For the curious non-English speakers...
"Crap" has become pretty much on a level with "poo", as opposed to "shit".
"Piss" is used in so many other phrases ("It's pissing down [raining]", "I'm really pissed off with him", "Let's go and get pissed!") that it's effectively become level with "pee".
There are divisions within England as well - in the South, we would use "bastard" quite frequently, but held "bugger" and "crap" as more serious swears, whereas here in the North, I've had to get used to "bastard" being a killing insult, but buggering about with crap all day is quite acceptable, LOL. Plus, in the South we all swear like mad fuckers, so when I first moved here I had people giving me funny looks until I learned to rein my mouth in... a little!
