三字经 only means swear words in the slang, or ironic sense. The original meaning is the “Three Character Classic”. If you already searched on line I think you know that. For what it may be worth, here is a related lesson:

Hi Eddie,

@podster is right. Because most of the Chinese bad words are three-word phrase, we call them 三字经 as well. But it originally means “Three-Character Classic”. You won’t be confused between these two meanings if you know the context well.
