The list of abbreviations (and the retrograde conversation that followed) in another thread reminded me of a question I had a couple of weeks ago. I know most of you folks (with some notable and respectable exceptions) will at least T and often toss a player or coach for using the F-bomb. What about the euphemisms? I had a game with a player who used "freakin' " several times during the game. It was never directed at anyone, and was not quiet, but not spoken with hostility. "That was a freakin' lousy shot" (about himself). ""This game is getting freakin' awful!" etc Onto which side of the line does that fall? What about "bloody"? What about "Golly, gee whiz?"

Several times a games?
"Hey, Bud. Please don't say that anymore. It's kinda startin' to bother me."
