The primary need is to deal with their lost condition.  God will lead
them to a proper vocabulary through the leading of the Holy Ghost but it
doesn't hurt for a Pastor to add this to his teachings.  I am thankful
for a holiness Pastor who has taught the church for years that words
used in lieu of profanity are the same as the profanity. 
"Chicken-cussing" is his term.
