I've heard it said that f*** is a woman professional's favorite word. 
Nowadays (at my more distinguished age
), I'm much much more likely to use a euphemism than a "real" cuss word, but you WILL hear me say "dang" or "fricken" or something of the sort in just about any casual conversation (social situations, obviously, with people I know, or if I don't know them, then at least understood the situation to be casual from their language). Twenty years ago it would have been real cuss words, and a whole lot more of them.
IMO cussing and throwing a fit are two entirely separate things. Throwing a fit often comes with cussing - but I've known people who can throw a spectacular fit without ever saying anything they couldn't say on the radio. What you described in your post was just cussing, even though your thread title had to do with throwing a fit. Does she do more?
