I use either "no displacement" or "no advantage" or "incidental contact" when I choose to address this.

Do a ton of youth ball on the weekends so I get all these more than most as fans seem to a be a bit more knowledgeable as the teams get older.
1) 3 seconds myths. For the life of me I don't understand why people yell the loudest about things they understand the least. People don't understand things like a try stops the count, or you need team control for a 3 second violation. You see the former a lot in youth ball when you end up with ten kids in the lane as two tall kids take turns exchanging air balls over the rim because nobody knows how to use the damn back board. Inevitably you end up with someone counting 1-2-3-4-5-6-7.... as this happens.
My favorite was earlier this year when I had a fan literally screaming at the top of her lungs for 3 seconds during an inbound play.
2) Sliding with possession of the ball is traveling.
3) The defense has to be 100% set and stationary to take a charge.
