Oh, I've cursed all right. But do you mean to tell me your parents made you put soap in your mouth?

It was a somewhat common punishment for swearing or talking back to your parents in the US a few decades ago. You can probably see it shown in American cartoons from the 90s and 00s.

Some parents did back then. I think it's a 90s thing.
