Definitely document... also say something about it, like - "the way you say that sounds very inappropriate when addressed to co-workers." Because it's not the specific words, but the tone. And say it in front Sprite specifically.

I know what I would do....
I'd say 'either shut the fuck up or I'm going to kick you in the balls.'
