Tough situation. I'd suggest making a rule in the entire house of no swearing. He won't understand if you single him out and no one else get in trouble.
Simple as that...if he's around it he'll copy it, if not he won't think about it. Monkey see monkey do!

Don't put him around the other children is the first step.
Second, don't react when he does say it. He is saying these words because he knows it gets him attention from adults. If you ignore it, and act totally unsurprised about it, he will learn that it's not getting him attention.
Praise him for good behavior more.
When he does say the word, tell him that "that's not what good boys say and do. Don't talk like that."
If it continues, place him in a timeout chair everytime he says such a word, one minute for each year, in this case 5.
If he gets up before timing is up, place him back and start over again.

Dish soap in the mouth immediately whenever you catch him. Difficulty is that you want to just touch your finger to the top of the squeeze bottle and then rinse most of it off so it isn't too overwhelming, just unpleasant-- test it on yourself first each time. You just want it to be an unpleasant flavor, not sickening.

its simple whip him when he does it. That's what's wrong with the world now parents don't want to whip their children. You don't have to beat the child but there isn't anything wrong with giving the child a spanking.
