The definition of flagrant, according to Merriam Webster is: "so obviously inconsistent with what is right or proper as to appear to be a flouting of law or morality."
In my humble opinion, a player using the most obscene of language, in a screaming fashion, towards an official, represents not just a lack of respect, but in fact a desire to belittle and/or abuse. It is one thing to call a technical on a player who is using profanity out of frustration and to no one in general or very loosely directed at an official's call. It is a whole other thing to have a player "scream" the most foul obscenity at a figure of authority.
It's a flagrant on my court.
