    Yes, it is possible. In many cultures swearing is considered a sign that one is too thick to make oneself understood in any other way, and therefore almost unheard of.

    Swearing usually doesn't become a habit until around puberty (when it becomes cool to use those words, instead of reason for someone to tell teacher). If you're a kid and you don't want to swear, just don't let yourself pick up the habit.

    If you do already swear, you can try two things. Either exert your will and just don't allow yourself to swear, or develop a vocabulary of non-swearing expletives. This is the most common, I think. Saying things like "fudge!" "sugar!" and "monkey!" give you all the pleasure of swearing with none of the bitter aftertaste. Other fun non-swears: crumbs, bags, flippin', shoelaces, hornswaggler, bucket, Christmas.

    • My favorite is "dirty word" which gives the same expression and allows you to fill in the blank
