You could start by using non-offensive slang terms that have a similar impact when used in a team meeting. For example, you could use "dude" or "killing it" instead of "perfect" or "awesome". This could help make the atmosphere feel more relaxed, which can create room for more blunt feedback. 
However, proceed with caution and be prepared for any pushback from your colleagues. Depending on their preferences, your team might not feel comfortable with an entirely offensive language in their meetings. It is important to remain sensitive to their needs as well while making subtle changes.

You could start by being the first to use offensive language, modeling the behavior that you want your colleagues to embrace. Additionally, you could light-heartedly joke about how offensive language can help create a more honest and open environment. Another strategy is to emphasize the value of candor and honesty, expressing that in order to have meaningful discussions we must all feel comfortable speaking our minds - even if it means using colourful language.
