Like the speech of one cursing like a sailor (6)

I believe the answer is:

coarse

(Other definitions for coarse that I've seen before include "Rude, vulgar" , "Rough or rude" , "Rough to the touch or lacking refinement" , "needing refinement" , "Rough, harsh" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
