Were you paraphrasing or was your instructor actualy using the F word?
That is usually a sign of a CFI who isn't in control of the situation.
A good CFI shows little emotion in the cockpit. We also know how to
only sweat on the right side (the student should never see you sweat).
I've not been in a situation with a student where I've lost my cool,
I can't imagine what that situation would be. If you're not happy with
a student's airspeed control you just tell them. No reason to get upset
about it. As the CFI you get to fly tomorrow either way, the student
may not

I tried to land me and my instructor in a corn field along side the runway
early in my training (pre-solo). I was cross controlled for a cross wind
and all of the sudden my partially trained brain decided that wasn't right
and I cranked in aileron in concert with the rudder I was holding and off
toward the corn field we went. Once about 75 feet off the center line and
maybe 30 feet about the corn, Dick said "get the throttle in" (he actually
said it twice, a little louder the second time!), which I did and he
slipped us back over the runway and landed. He couldn't get to the
throttle has in the little C150 he always had is left arm behind the
pilot's seat.

He laughed about it the rest of the day and told everyone I was the first
student who had tried to kill him that day. I figured if trying to kill a
man didn't get him angry, then he was a pretty good instructor!

By the time I got my private I had been with 3 primary instructors and flew
with a couple others on and off, they were ALL very cool, friendly, helpful
and I never felt like I was imposing on them. I had my first primary tell me
once on a slow, attitude high climb out, "If you lower the nose a little bit
we probably won't crash", point taken. For the instructor at Monarch to do
what he did he should get beat down.
