"Bullshit" is vulgar slang, not cursing. You don't yell "Bullshit" when you stub your toe.

"Shit" isn't uncommon, though. It seems to me that English-language cursing is pretty broad-spectrum. For the toe-stubbing situation, for instance, you have the scatological ("Shit!"), the religious ("Christ!", "Damn!"), the sexual ("Fuck!"), the anatomical ("Arse!", at least in the UK; I don't think "ass" is used that way in the US), the weird-hybrid-between-sexual-and-religious-and-ethnic-minority-abuse ("Bugger!"; look its etymology up some time).

Personally, I usually just say "ow".

And let's not forget a personal favourite: "You fucking piece of shit!", which nicely spans the faecal/sexual linguistic divide.

Personally, i tend to shout "SHITTING FUCK" in that situation. I'm British, with some possibly-German ancestry five or six generations back.

As is often the case, the Daily Mash illustrates the truth:
