striking the ball with your fist
multiple foul
Most of these are never called because they hardly ever happen. Some (multiple fouls) happen occasionally but still never get called.

I've seen this one called quite a few times over the years. I've never seen any of the others.
I don't think Shades of Gray was looking for a definition of obscure. I think he was taking a jab at Rut. I've seen that quite a few times, too.
