I'm not certain.  My general impression that it would not be, per se, but I imagine that could be exacerbated into grave sin by the context or the severity.  I did not make it to the moral theology classes at seminary, though, so I would ask a priest.  Father Kramer is floating around the forum, so perhaps he would be one to ask.
Let's assume for the sake of argument that there's no particularly just reason for using the language, but its also not meant to be sɛҳuąƖly explicit.  

Does Fr. Kramer go by that username or is he under a pseudonym?

Are they sinful?  Are they mortally so?  To be clear I'm asking about swearwords other than the Lord's Name in vain.

I once heard a priest say that swearing was a mortal sin but I wasn't given a clear source on why.
I don't know why someone would down thumb your two question, so I up thumbed them to balance things.

If a priest said that swearing is a mortal sin, then I would stop swearing and confess my mortal sin. No big deal. You are not going to find me spending even one second finding out what the Moral Theology Books say, I could care less. It is not like he is asking me to cut off my arm.

To answer your question, when I am in doubt about a mortal sin, I go and confess it as a mortal sin, and let God sort it out. And that's the last thought I give it.
