First, you must stop swearing around him! After that, ignore him when he uses words that you don't want him to use, and pay lots of attention to him when he uses words that are ok. To parrots, any attention is good attention. If you get worked up when he swears, he will keep doing it to get a reaction out of you.

Parrots only repeat what they have heard so maybe it is the enviroment that has led to him doing this, I suggest you clean up your act and treat him like he was the most important member of your family. Love and cuddles work much better than scolding, he will repeat any stressed words so try to keep his home enviroment as calm as possible. Do not leave him flying about when strangers are about. Maybe have his wings clipped by a professional to try and help calm him down.

A Parrot parrots - - - obviously he has been around a lot of swearing and getting him to swear off swearing is next to impossible. It would involve training on the level of cruelty. Water cannons. Rolled up newspapers. Not worth it - - - who wants a beaten sullen bird. If things get really bad consider giving him to a really rowdy Bar or Tavern. They would welcome him. Peace - - -

i dont think u can unteach a parrot words so u must try to live with that. ur parrot sounds agressive! what u should do is give him a time out. put him in his cage for a few day to teach him manners. my parrot wa like that too. none of my friends wanted to come to my house cause he would attack them if they came near me. then he flew away when we were on holiday and when he came back he was soooo sweet and lovable!!!!
just be patient!

Stop slagging other people off - that would be a good start.
