I know that's bizarre, since it's in Simlish (or silent) and the only manifestation is the animated 'curse' characters on the screen. However, it annoys me so much in real life that even the representation of my Sims doing it makes me want to ground them for the rest of their child/teenhood.
I haven't run into it lately - for a bit, my kids and teens always went through the loud phase at least once.
