Could you give us an example? :^D
Coach, or fan ( I always try to locate loud fans): "Look at the fouls! 9 to 2!"
A defender pulls the 90 degree snap-back on a shooter, and the Coach or player: "I/he/she was totally vertical!"
"That wasn't on 53! (6'4", 210#) It was on 43 (5'8", 124#)!"

It's disarming when you give a good belly laugh, and a big toothy smile.
You are telling, whomever, that you know they are trying to "work" you, while it implies that your mind is set, you know you are right, and that any further ridicule on that subject is, in fact, ridiculous.
