swearing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bad language' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tiresome following son's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'son's' could be 's' and 's' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'wearing' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swearing that I've seen before include "promising" , "blue emissions?" , "Affirming or cursing" , "Expressing annoyance" , "Using bad language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
