IMO using that sort of language during an interview is unaccetable. If it can't be said on tv at 8pm, then it shouldn't be said in an interview. You want to put your best foot forward, and "f this" or "f that" during an interview is completely out of line. I don't have a problem with cursing, and I do it quite often. But there are settings in which it is not appropriate. A job interview is one of them.
