Remember that you are the adult in the room. You will not win an argument or shouting match with a child of any age. Angry children don't fight fair. Do not touch the child. Do not raise your voice. Do not curse. Maintain your dignity at all times. You, as the teacher, are an example for the other students in how to behave.
Very calmly say, "I need for you to leave the room and walk to the office. I will be calling the office to make sure that you arrive." Repeat this several times if necessary. Then turn around and continue with what you were doing before the interruption. If the student doesn't leave, call an administrator or send another student next door for help.
When the student has left the room, immediately write down the exact words of the student in a disciplinary report for the administrator in charge. Give an absolutely objective report-- free of your own opinions. If you think the student should be punished in a certain way, this report is the venue for your request.

What you do is definitely dependent on the age of the student..and where your school is. If you haven't established guidelines with your students, such as what is and what is not acceptable within your classroom and what you will do within a given situation...then it is time to do so. What you do to sanction students should be within your institution's/school district's policies concerning this topic. You have the ability to ask your boss whether or not your sanctions..ie, banning the student from the classroom for a specified amount of time with written warnings..documented infractions, etc, or lowering their grade by a degree. You can also provide incentive for students who don't violate infractions, such as raising the final grade by a degree. You also need the support of a good inner-institution system that doesn't tolerate such a thing...as well as the majority of parents. This is my thought on the subject.

Stand there. Ask if they are done. Stay emotionless.
Then say "I'm sorry you couldn't have chosen better words for your anger. Even if you are right, when you use that language I can no longer help you or discuss things with you, plus, you know the policy against that type of language. You give me no choice but to...(insert consequence here.) Next time you are angry, let's discuss it appropriately so I CAN help you."
And then follow through with the dicipline. And try to follow up with the student to better understand the source of their frustration and so he or she knows you really will help if you can.
DO NOT LET THEM PUSH YOUR BUTTONS.
You'll only end up looking like a fool.

Depends - but make them aware of their language in a authoritative way, stay calm - then make sure they are appropriately dealt with by admin. or as you choose.
The other students will know it was severely punished and will get the message.
DO NOT LOSE YOUR COOL!
It will happen - but you can manage it for the long run.

Have the student call his/her parents and say the exact words they said to you.
