heck

[KYC]

Hi, there:
When people feel irritated or in a bad mood, is it rude to say "heck" to any native speaker's ear?

Thanks a lot!

No. "Heck" is an extremely mild form of "hell" (but only in a cursing context). It is quite the opposite of rude, in my opinion.

Hi KYC. I can't imagine anyone being offended by 'heck'.

I got it.
Thanks a lot!
