The term "expletive" usually refers to a bad word, often called a "swear" or a "curse" word. In many newspapers & magazines, there are codes that do not permit bad language (like the swear word that begins with F, jokingly called the "F-bomb") to be written, since seeing bad language supposedly might offend someone, or set a bad example for young people. Thus, newspapers will use a euphemism (a polite way of saying something vulgar), or they will just say the person "uttered an expletive."

The expletive is an introductory word followed by the adjective is this true of false?
False. An expletive may or not be introductory in nature, and may or may not be followed by an adjective (I don't know why you say THE adjective; it sounds as if you are talking about a specific sentence that you haven't showed me). For example, the word damn can be used as an expletive, all by itself. Damn! This would normally be an expression of displeasure. Previous answer is correct. An expletive can be used alone, or as the modifier of an adjective or noun . There is nothing objectionable in the original answer.
