I am sorry but if he is your son then he heard it from either you-- his parents, a tv show or someone you let him be around. To put a stop to it you have to stop saying the word yourself (if you are) watch him better and be a better influence for him.
He has no idea what the word means or why it is bad and is only mimicking what he has heard elsewhere so why are you spanking him? He does not need to be PUNISHED he needs to be TAUGHT the difference between appropriate and inappropriate language!

Please don't think I'm high and mighty... I was a mechanic before I became a mother... I have invented a few cuss words of my own. But each and every time the f bomb comes out... Either Daddy fusses at me, or I fuss at him. Hopefully we can train each other to stop it. But I do think it's important to let the baby see that not even grownups are allowed to use that word. (or the others)

So .. because your tiny son, heard a 'bad word' from somewhere and is embarrassing you in public ... you SPANK him, and hit his mouth ??? I sincerely hope he doesn't actually stop talking altogether - because at that age he cannot differentiate between a good word or a bad one, and you hitting him just puts fear into him opening his mouth at all.
And to all those 'mouth soap' advocates out there. Yes it IS a chemical. Yes it is dangerous - it froths and chokes. And yes... children DO die from it. And no ... NO there is NO way it is every right to use what amounts to chemical warfare on a child!
I am 56 and I never hit my children or soaped their mouths and they are now great adults.

I don't think spanking or tapping his mouth is right. Where did he learn this from? Who on earth is speaking like that or allowed to speak like that around him? My brother dropped the f-bomb in front of my son once and got an earful when he argued with me. For one, STOP using that language around him and secondly, staying calm and not getting worked up when he uses it will help. He may respond better to either time out or ignoring it - you'll just have to see
