In my region:
Fake tag - defender simulating the execution of a tag on a runner while not in possession of the ball.
Phantom tag - defender sweeping glove w/ball in front of base without actually tagging the runner, yet getting the out call.
Neighborhood play - a defender executing an attempted force out, or an out at 1B on the BR, who either receives the ball after losing contact with base or throwing the ball prior to contacting the target base. Often, just a passing sweep of a foot by F6 on and attempted catch and release toward F3 to complete back end of a DP.
