exodus 20:7 you shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
don't slander the name of God by using it as an expletive - or by using it in a moment of anger when you can't think of anything else to say - or by throwing it around casually in your conversations as if it were just another descriptive adjective - or by using it in any way that it is not intended to be used
uh-oh - i may have been guilty of this one myself
have you ever read a jew's writings about God? a diary or blog? i mean of a true believing jew - you will often see something like G-d because they are very careful how they use the name of God
God isn't merely saying in the 3rd commandment to not use Him as a curse word - He is demanding we hallow His name - that we revere it - that we hold it in high esteem - that we use it in proper context only - with proper attitude only - that every time it rolls off our tongue it does so with love and adoration
