To curse someone is left over from the days when Europeans believed in witches. It means to
invoke bad tidings on someone. I curse the day your mother had you, may her legs grow gnarled and twisted like an olive tree-she should be so lucky.
To swear means to take an oath in the presence of God.
Nowadays, in the US, we use curse and swear-word as synonyms.

@willghentsc so curse and swear both mean the same thing and the only difference is that curse means to put a spell on someone and to swear means to vow ....am I right???
