Question for U.S. friends on here, is my understanding of the difference below correct?
"Son of a Bitch" is a sorta mild, throwaway form of cursing, like when you miss the nail and hit your thumb with a hammer or someone cuts you off in traffic, equiv. to UK's "bugger" / "shi**e"
"Sumbitch" is a serious, severe description of someone who's the absolute worst, equiv. to "Motherf***er" or UK's "utter b***ard"
I appreciate there's regional variance but as a general rule?
