I don't believe it is ok for Jewish people to curse. The whole idea of Judaism is cleanliness to me and cursing disrespects the whole Jewish religion. You may be allowed to curse if you are not devoted to judaism but i do not curse. I don't recommend cursing

According the Ramban on Vayikra (Leviticus) 19:2, although Jews are not explicitly forbidden from doing so, they are not supposed to, as they are not supposed to abuse their permissions.

Additionally, we see in the story of Noach that it says "the animals that weren't tahor" instead of "the animals which were tamei". We learn from here that we should always try to use as nice language as possible.

The religion of Judaism specifically forbids Jews to take the name of the Lord in vain (this is one of the famous Ten Commandments) but that is, of course, only one kind of swearing. Other kinds of swearing are not specifically forbidden by Judaism, but most Jews recognize that swearing of any kind is in poor taste, even if it is not a transgression against Judaism.

Christians believe that any taking of the Lord's name in vain is blasphemous no matter who says it.

Jews believe that it is forbidden to swear in the name of a false god.
