You never cursed as a child and had to wash your mouth with soap?
Oh, I've cursed all right. But do you mean to tell me your parents made you put soap in your mouth?
Some parents did back then. I think it's a 90s thing.

It was a somewhat common punishment for swearing or talking back to your parents in the US a few decades ago. You can probably see it shown in American cartoons from the 90s and 00s.
