In my opinion you should not curse as a manager in a serious meeting.

For eg: "The quality of this code can be improved" vs "This fucking code has to be corrected" or

very simple statements like:

"what is this"? vs "what the fuck is this"

The tone by adding one curse word changes from inquisitive to condescending and intimidating.

So never use curse words for serious things.

However, after a certain period of time when you're familiar with the environment and people you may joke and curse while having a casual chit-chat.

As for the problem now, as this is a small company have an informal meeting and sort this out and apologize if needed(use humor if you're good at it to make all this less uncomfortable)!
