dirty mouth

Speaks with curses

A dirty mouth belongs to someone who uses profanity, obscenity, or vulgar language habitually.

Parents scold children for having dirty mouths; adults get the label when their speech is liberally salted with expletives.

Kiss your mother with that dirty mouth?

The phrase often appears as an accusation or mild rebuke.
