Like what results when, after passing up a close "over the back" call, I blow my whistle for a "jump ball", then award the ball to team A for an "inbounds pass" on the "baseline", but then "call the play dead" when the thrower steps out of his "three foot area" which prompts from me a good "walking with the ball" signal after which A2 "calls a timeout" for which I signal to the bench using the "T" signal and all the players but the free-thrower stand behind the "halfcourt line" for the technical foul I inadvertantly called. Not sure why we need to be precise with our terminology.
Can't think of any more relevant situational malaprops to put into a sentence.
Besides, nobody will read this today because everybody else is out barbequing or doing whatever they do to celebrate the 235th birthday of the country of the guy who invented basketball while others like me have to maintain our diligent work schedule protecting the citizenry from terroristic sabotage and threat.
