Someone who swears to a select group of people may be a racist/bigot. Another who uses slurs as a weapon to break people emotionally can say much about how insensitive or callous they are at their core and also hint exactly to the sort of failing they have.It can also coincide with traits like Beware the Nice Ones or Stepford Smiler. If a character rarely swears but in profuse/intense vulgarity on those rare moments, then it might be a sign that the topic is either a Berserk Button or Serious Business issue for the character and/or that their stress level has reached a breaking point.If a character swears around their friends, it can (but not certainly) hint to a degree of trust that swearer has toward the other, not holding back their thoughts but being honest about their feelings. Someone who swears frequently as if it was punctuation may come across as irreverent and casual.The various circumstances of how or why a character swears also may say a lot about the other facets of their personality.
