God no doubt created language, words, speech, etc.
However, it has always been man who has made things unacceptable or sinful to God since the day Adam & Eve chose the wrong tree. Yes, there are things that are not always inheritently evil to every culture, but God knows the culture and that person's knowledge and heart. IF.... IF you use bad words that you KNOW are unacceptable to a culture knowing they are bad to that culture you are serving your own interests and not God's interests because God would want us to do the best possible good in every situation. We do have a liberty in Christ, but we are also bought and paid for with a price, too. We are not our own. We are servants of righteousness and not ministers of darkness.
Also, the devil can't do anything without God's approval. It is possible seeing that seeing that cussing certain words within various cultures are considered bad, it makes sense that filthy talk would be a part of the devil's kingdom and not God's kingdom; Therefore, it is logical to believe that the list of bad words used by this world are indeed unacceptable to God (According to the various different cultures).
I mean, have you ever walked into a room and heard people cussing and just made you sick to your stomach where you had to leave? If you have not had that type of experience, then I would say get away from the things of the world for a while and get more into the Word of God and prayer with the Lord (And you will then start to see the evil for what it is). This is not complicated issue. Saying certain bad words (ones invented by a man) is still wrong to say. It would be like a man creating a statue of some evil god or some naked couple being intimate with each other and then promoting that to people. It's no different. Words just like that work of art can be evil.

I know. It sounded unnatural to say, "fiddle sticks." I had come up with "fiddlin stickins" as a natural out flow of speaking under a frustrating situation when I was by myself. I didn't sit there and think of it. It just naturally came to me in that situation. For me, it is good to get away from any invented words if I can in this case because I strive to be different than the world and it's ways. It is my goal one day to not say anything when I am frustrated. This is only possible with God.

but all I try to do in life is find out what God wants from me, and how He expects me to act or talk...not do/act the way men tell me to. Sorry...could go on forever on this subject. 
Be well.

Matthew 12:36 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.
Hope you don't mind if step in here (To clarify for some readers who may not get what you said).
For those readers who don't know. The word "Propriety" means ... "the state of."
In other words, one man's sins of being judgmental and hypocritcal (who doesn't cuss) does not erase another man's sin of cussing. For it is not okay to give another person the green light or okay for a person to cuss as a way of life (or to be in a state of cussing at any point of their life).
