swearer
One who vows
A swearer is someone who uses profanity or obscene language, either habitually or in a particular instance.
The term can carry mild disapproval or simply describe someone's speech patterns: He's a terrible swearer when he's frustrated.
In legal contexts, a swearer may also be someone who takes an oath or swears to the truth of a statement, though this sense is uncommon in everyday speech.
