Answer 1

@Gus...the reality of this lies in the fact that conversational spanish is very much turns on context. Unfortuantely, there wasn't much provided, so it's hard to tell exactly what was trying to be communicated. That frase can be anything from I'd didn't know you spoke poorly of people; I didn't know you spread rumors; I didn't know you used bad words. So...go back and look (if you can) at the totality of the conversation...that will tell you far more than any of use looking at one frase which is without context.

Answer 2

A Maldecir and a palabrota son los dos igual.

Son similar pero no son igual. - Goyo, Sep 7, 2009

Answer 3

I didn't know you cursed; or I didn't know you used curse words.

I think you confuse cursing with cussing. To curse is to proclaim evil over someone. - Goyo, Sep 7, 2009

around these parts, when we say someone cursed somebody out, I'm pretty sure these folks don't think they had a curse put on 'em....but that's just round these parts. - ChamacoMalo, Sep 7, 2009

Yeah, around those parts that's probably true. But that is a secondary meaning of "curse" that has crept in to colloquial English. It's not the primary or original meaning of the word. - Goyo, Sep 7, 2009
