True, but then I just call it "taunting."
I try to stay away from "excessive celebration," because it's not in the NFHS rule book, and there's no specific penalty against that, unlike in soccer (NFHS: "excessive or prolonged act(s) which a player attempts to focus attention upon himself...") or the NFL/college football. I'm only assuming that such a rule exists in NFHS football, too.
That's why I say "celebration is positive; taunting is negative." It makes the whole thing easier to distinguish.
