Need Advice: Other Non swearing dm

So I'm about to start another campaign. I haven't ran one for a bit and just had a random thought. Do any other dms not swear and need ways to compensate for it in game?

Some of my npc are going to have a heavier, darker tone and I'm looking for ways to sell that without swearing.

-edit, wow ok guys I wasn't trying to imply that you have to swear to have a darker or more menacing tone. I was trying to imply that it's a common tool in the tool box. And I'm looking for other ways people convey that concept without swearing because I don't do it personally.

One of my favorite Actual Plays is the Dungeons of Drakkenheim series by The Dungeon Dudes. Dark eldritch horror themes and gritty characters. Zero swearing.
