Comment on I'm going to try not to swear when you're around. Is this a good apology to a coworker?

That depends massively on the profession, setting, and context.
Restaurant kitchen where something gets spilled, a trade where something unexpectedly breaks, a couple lawyers without anyone else around finding out their client is on camera admitting to the crime, etc. are all fine to say a calm ‘oh fuck’ as a reaction. Someone in an open office who yelled it because their code didn’t compile would not be acting very professional.

It may be more common among certain job categories, but I don’t think that makes it professional behavior to do so regardless of the type of work.

Any outburst would be unprofessional, a specific word changes nothing unless directed at someone,
