well actuary, all of the examples that you cited will usually earn you a T in my book. especially intentionally bumping me after a call. That one will probably even earn you a trip to the showers. If I know that the player is just being a baby and will not retrieve the ball or throws it in the opposite direction of me will probably get them a T. I may mention to all of the players that there are 10 of them and 3 of us and to help with getting the ball back in play.
As far as a magic word, I don't have one of those because you hear so many different things on the court. If I waiting for one word I may never hear it. If a player or coach questions my judgement or tells me that was a horrible call or something along those lines I will probably T them up, especially if that is coming from a player. If it is a coach I may mention to him that I am calling the game and he is coaching and to lets keep it that way. Consider that his warning.
