It's never what they say. It's how they say it.
Im a newbie umpire, just wanted to know someone else perspective on tossing players/coaches. You always hear commentators for pro sports say so and so said the "magic words" and got tossed.

As a player, I never swear at an ump, although if a call was really bad I may use a curse word for effect, like "you gotta be sh*ttin me"

on a side note, the best one I ever heard was in a baseball game, ump calls strike 3 on a ball that was at the batters eyes, the batter says a bunch of things among them was "bring you dog to the game next time" intimating the ump uses a seeing eye dog.
