It really depends on the content of the "bad words". If mentioned are threats of violence or anything suggesting that the third person is in danger you must act on that in an appropriate way. If the words are mere tittle-tattle the best thing you can do it try to stay neutral and stay out of something which does not affect you. Getting involved may just cause bad relations with both people and cause bad feeling. The easiest way to respond to the person who is saying the nasty things is to say that you take people as you find them and that the subject has not done anything to you personally so you are unable to comment. Try not to agree or disagree with the comments they are making.

Thought of answering this tom'ow, but couldn't help indulging.
I actually have a student who does that. BAD WORDS. After every second word. And of course bad mouthing an absent third person!
I waited. Patiently. I knew there will be a chink in the armour. Caught him when he was unguarded. When he complained about another person who talked bad about him behind his back. I calmly reminded him about his baseless accusations and foul language regarding another. The key is in waiting and confronting the concerned person when he / she is alone and in confidence.
Dont let the foul words rattle you. And DO NOT encourage such talk, because remember that the same person will talk about you in the same manner.
Dont get frustrated, just wait :-)

Well you can either choose to ignore the person or if they are talking about a friend of yours maybe you should sit the person down and ask why they are talking about the person and if the person being talked about is a friend maybe you could just say I don't know what you have against the person but he/she is my friend and I'de appreciate it if you didn't talk about them in my presence or try to help resolve the problem if they tell you what it is

You are having 2 ears, okey. Hear through one and leave through the other. He is easing his discomfort. He will be happy and the third party is not affected. But do not comment. What is the problem if you have time

u should ask that person not to say bad words for person who is not present there and tell him if he wants to do that he should have the guts to say it in front of that person.

Let them know that you do not want to hear anything about this other person because for one, it is rude to talk about someone not there....and that they need to stop, also tell them that if they can't find anything to talk about besides someone else then you have no use for them,,,,,,Just imagine if they will do this about someone else what they must be saying about you when you aren't there.....

I think the best way is to give him/her a smile and listen what he think. Dont say anything which is against or in favour of him/her( 3rd person)
I think most of our questions can be solved by a simple simle.

Change the subject everytime they do it and I'll bet you they will get the hint. Unless you are engaging. and that's not cool.
