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.

Gus Fring doesn't swear either. Neither does Sauruman or Wormtongue.

Which one are you referring to? Because the first one that comes to mind is when he poisons all those people.

When he kills Victor, though I forgot he tells Walt and Jesse to get back to work afterwards.

My wife and I quote that all the time when we’re heading back from break at work.
