It doesn't, the closest it has is not to take the lords name in vain. So you should not use God or Jesus Christ as swear words. Now if any thing a person does offends someone else then it can be sin. When using words in a form of anger, such as swearing at someone or calling them names then it would be sinful due to the act of anger and hatred. Some things are just not socially acceptable.

Ephesians 5:4 neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting, things which are not becoming. 6 let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of the aforesaid things the wrath of god is coming upon the sons of disobedience.
Colossians 3:8 But now really put them all away from you, wrate, anger, badness, abusive speech and obscene talk out of your mouth. Do not be lying to one another.
Just because it isn't in the ten commandments doesn't mean it isn't still valid.

It is in the Ten Commandments. It falls in under the commandment, 'Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor'.
The bible also says the following:
Ephesians 4:29 - Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Ephesians 4:31 - Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evi speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

English "swear words" (and the English language period) wasn't even around in the time of Moses. They are just considered offensive words. The commandments just say not to use gods name in vain.

The only places it comes close to actually saying ye shall not swear are in the 3rd and 9th commandnents. #3: Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
#9: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
Swear words can also be used as slang some times to express a true meaning such as: Lord God save us from being *** holes ect...

The ten commandments aren't the only statements that define sin... there are other things besides the ten commandments that are sin...
It's really not that difficult to figure out.

in the NT it warns against course language and Jesus states one should let their yes be yes and their no be no, and not adorn ones speach with frivolous statements which hold no meaning. (paraphrae) If a person has even a mediocre vocabulary one can properly describe things without using language whose main usage condemns the speaker to the label of not being bright enough to express their thoughts or so angry they can not think.
You will not be condemned for cussing but it just is very similar to saying look at me I'm a dumb a$$

According to several religious leaders polled, the swearing part comes under the heading of taking the name of God in vain.
I supose if you are seeking some sort of rationalization for using foul language, you can find one, or not find it more accurately.

It specifically says not to take God's name in vain though. Swear away, but leave him out of it.
You may want to look up a word called respect though.
Swearing sounds like hell. LOL
