This is becoming more and more common for students to be cussing at teachers. I've had a couple in the past when told to put their phone away say, "You need to shut the f*ck up" and "get off my di*k." I write them up but generally little is done to them for their actions. Fortunately I haven't had too much of this, but the general behavior of a many students is a driving factor of keeping new teachers from continuing their career in the education field. My oldest daughter was thinking of being a biology teacher until she went to her first field assignment. The first day she went back to school and dropped the education minor and tole me she wasn't going to put up with the total disrespect these kids had for their teachers.
