I believe the answer is:

swear

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'use bad language' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'witness box?' is the second definition.
'swear' can be an answer for 'witness' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'box?' bit.

'in the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swear that I've seen before include "Express annoyance" , "Use indecent or blasphemous language" , "Asseverate" , "not to mince one's words" , "Solemnly promise" .)
