It wasn't all that many years ago that cussing someone could result in the local coronor declaring you dead by premeditated suicide or death by stupidity sometimes called death by misadventure.
You cuss and disturb others rights to NOT hear it. Your minor (now a legal issue) infraction can result in a more serious law being broken by someone retaining their right to not hear the children try out new and exciting words at the top of their lungs.
Laws are all about keeping the peace not allowing the childish to defecate from the mouth.

Gemini as has been already pointed out your "disturbing the peace" exception for free speech could be utilized in just about every protest whether peaceful or not because regardless they all do disturb someone's peace at one point or another.
