"And this one talks about cussing..."
From the Tastes Like Chicken Interview:

INTERVIEWER: But what are the reasons behind keeping the site ad-free and making it clean enough for kids to view?

...

MIKE: It’s really just more of our style. ... It wasn’t a super hard decision to make. We probably would have been doing it like this anyway. We’ve always leaned toward the more subtle type of humor, as opposed to over-the-top.

MATT: But when we get our sketch comedy show, dude, there’s going to be so many swears!

Even given this attitude, there have been many examples of various degrees of swearing on the website, both stated and implied.

Appearances

  • Email trevor the vampire — Strong Bad types "What the f" before he interrupts himself.
  • Email sugarbob — One of Strong Bad's instant messages contains the word "lmao", which means "laughing my ass off."
  • Email the bird — Strong Bad, Pom Pom and Homestar all give the finger.
  • Email cheat talk — In an Easter egg, the announcer translates one of The Cheat's phrases as "Check it out, this is going to be great. Just say 'Screw all y'all!'" (a direct reference to sb email 22), then adds "And now on to Lesson 2: All the swears."
  • Old Characters PageBubs' description says that he makes "one helluva sno-cone".
  • Second and Third Games Menu — The titlebar for both pages reads, in part, "for the whole damn family!"
  • Email comic — In an Easter egg, one of the records visibly displays the phrase "You stupid asshole". This was later censored in strongbad_email.exe.
  • Teen Girl Squad Issue 3Cheerleader thinks her elephant head is "hella tight."
  • Teen Girl Squad Issue 7 — The girls react to Tompkins's comment, "Heck, I'm taller than you," by shouting "TOMPKINS MADE A SWEAR!!!"
  • Email no loafing — Strong Bad says one of his posters (with the caption "Failure is not a 4-letter word") talks about cussing.
  • Commandos in the Classroom
    • Pony Fights 2 is rated PG-13 for "Severe cussing and very illegal pony fights."
    • Reynold attempts to "swear a cuss", then says "diaper biscuits", causing the rest of the Commandos to laugh at him.
    • When Reynold says "I might as well go home and get teen pregnant", Gunhaver calls him a "Cheat Cuss-mando."
  • In Search of the Yello Dello — The first deleted scene's description mentions that it was deleted because of Homestar's "foul mouth". The foul language was most likely the phrase "freakin' duck".
    • According to its description, the secret deleted scene had to be revised because of Marzipan swearing, even though there's no evidence of her using foul language in the scene.
  • Hairstyle Runner — One of the heads in the gallery is titled "smartass".
  • Email lady fan — Marzipan calls Strong Bad a "horse's twees" instead of a horse's ass. Homestar first used the word "twees" to refer to Strong Bad's butt, also calling it "your buttweesimo".
  • In addition to the above, the word "crap" is often used as a swear word.
