A flagrant foul is a foul of a violent or savage nature. It involves at the very least violent contact such as striking, kicking or kneeing. If it occurs during a dead ball (flagrant technical) it can even include conduct that was non-contact but is extreme, persistent, vulgar or abusive.
I'm paraphrasing the NF rulebook. I usually will call one if the contact was intended to injure or showed an utter disregard for the fouled player's safety.
