Answer to Question JD Saved by Grace: Good question. Here is what I stated in my sermon:
The Pharisees claimed to be defending God’s truth and yet their words were worthless and would lead to God’s judgment. The words of the Pharisees here were not simply a slip of the tongue. They were worthless and false words for which they would stand in judgment.
And so you must, of course, be careful in the words which you speak, but I don’t think that Jesus is saying here that on the day of judgment you will have to give an explanation for every single foolish thing you have ever said. What would you be able to say in response to the multiplied thousands of foolish, hurtful, ridiculous, untrue, and irreverent things you have said throughout the course of your life?
But Jesus’ words here of course do contain a wealth of personal application, for we will one day stand before the judgment set of Christ as Paul says in both Romans 14:10 and 2 Cor. 5:10. We will stand before the judgment seat of Christ so we must guard our words and our other actions. Although the believer knows that on the day of judgment he will never stand on the basis of his own righteousness, the realization that we will stand before Jesus Christ should be the greatest known incentive for holy living.

Scary Sermon! Does this mean that the sin of using idle words is another sin that can't, or won't be forgiven?
