Saw in movie subtitles for "language," as in "mind your language" or "watch your language."

出口成脏,网络新词,指的是一些人说脏话的现象,也就是爆粗口。出口成脏的现象在现实生活中以及网络上随处可见,也是令人深恶痛绝的恶习。

Proposed def might be a bit too overly BrE - any improvements are welcomed.

Not sure if anyone is interested in putting the pun on 出口成章 in the def or not.

Editor:
1) Yes, I think effing and blinding may be a bit too BrE.

2) It seems better to define it as a verb phrase.
- 在超市付款车站买票时插队的人、在阅览室展览厅影院里旁若无人喧哗不停的人、开口成脏的人……他们都可称作“丑陋的人”。
- “请注意你的素质,不要开口成脏,完全就是个女流氓!”
