NIV; Proverbs 4:24; Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
NLT; Proverbs 8:13; All who fear the Lord will hate evil. That is why I hate pride, arrogance, corruption and perverted speech.
NLT; Psalm 19:4; May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Jesus says it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks and it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.

LOL, Yes is it a sin to "Cus"(curse) if that indeed is what you are doing, let me answer your question with some questions. When a person gets outta bed in the middle of the night, slams thier little toe into the dresser as they stumble toward bathroom, do they shout PRAISE THE LORD? Not usually, but in the event they do, is that what the meant in thier heart? If I say oh shoot or oh $h!t, didnt I really mean the same thing? How about this one, your walking across the yard barefoot and step in present your neghbors dog left ya, Just because you call it poop instead of **** did it change the substance caked to the bottom of your foot? Good grief people!! Heres one more, say I see my old friend I have known for 25 years, and I say "How you doing you old bastard?" Did I mean that as hurtful or was it a friendly greeting that we can be comfortable with? On the flipside however say i go to the same friend, and say "Your a low down dirty bastard for doing what you did" when in reality he I was mistaken on what he really did, then the very same word becomes a curse on him, as I meant it for harm.
Hope you can understand my ranting here and hope it helps you to understand what you say is not whats important, its how you mean it that counts.

Ephesians 4:29; 5:4; Colossians 3:8

It is definitely a sin to swear/cuss. The Bible makes this abundantly clear. Ephesians 4:29 tells us, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."
it isn't right for praising and cursing to come out of the same mouth. James 3:9-12 summarizes the issue, "With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water."

(Ephesians 4:31) Let all malicious bitterness and anger and wrath and screaming and abusive speech be taken away from YOU along with all badness.
(Ephesians 5:4) neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting, things which are not becoming, but rather the giving of thanks.
(Ephesians 4:29) Let a rotten saying not proceed out of YOUR mouth, but whatever saying is good for building up as the need may be, that it may impart what is favorable to the hearers.

The Bible talks about not taking the Lord's name in vain. As for other "cuss" words, it doesn't mention them. It just sounds really bad when Christians cuss.

Ephesians 4:29 says to not let a rotten saying proceed out of your mouth, only what is uplifting.

What in the hell do you call cussing? Did you ever read the
NT in the Greek, honey it would be an eye-opener for you.
You never use the Lords name. Cussing is expression to get
attention. Paul used it.

I feel like my spirit took a nasty punch everytime I curse. For me that is good enough to not curse. It's also very unattractive and contradictory to the character of a reborn christian

I don't know about sin, but those that regularly use profanity are ignorant. Profanity is the literary tool of the ignorant.
I believe those that use profanity are verbally challenged, and are ignorant to the language it is that they speak.
