Can I Get Fired For Something I Say On A Dashcam.

Card image cap

So, for clarification, I am a mechanic working in a dealership. For the record, I have zero problem being watched or recorded. I'm not worried about trying to hide sketchy practice or anything, what I am worried about is my mouth. I am your classic blue-collar foul mouthed laborer. I'm also a pessimist, so in essence, anytime I put my hands on a car and start working, at the slightest inconvenience I start cussing the car. So my question comes into play if I were to say "This piece of sh-t is pissing me off" or "This f-ck-ng car isn't worth putting any money into". The list goes on, I've said them all. Now say this is caught on the dashcam of the car, the owner goes back to look. Obviously they're more than likely not going to be happy listening to the technician talk about their car like that. If they in turn come to my management about it, can I lose my job? If it helps, I work in Florida which iirc is an at-will state, which may make the whole point moot. (Censored the cursing since I don't remember if it's allowed on this thread)
