I had a similar conversation with my son years ago. He said something. I can't recall what it was, but I told him that he needs to be aware of who is around him where he is and determine whether the language is appropriate. At the time, it was inappropriate and I told him so. I didn't tell him he "wasn't to use such language". I scolded for the manner in which he used it.
If you ask any adult, they will say he's a fine young man, polite, respectful, and well-mannered.
I've heard him speak when he's with his friends and he doesn't believe anyone (that can get him into trouble) will hear. He doesn't "cuss like a sailor", but his language is definitely more "colorful" when he is with his peers.
