Everyone? So you understand language that inner city kids might say to each other that are not the common words? And I gave you an example that some people that are religious get upset by and those not so religious or a different belief system never get upset by.

You are looking for a one size fits all standard which will never happen even if they spell it out. And honestly I could give a darn what "everyone" does when everyone is not in the same circumstances. I do not work in your state, so what they do there is your business not mine. And you probably not being African-American might not allow you to understand some things that would be said amongst them that would be seen as offensive to me or why it would be offensive. That is why when officials are assigned to many games it is based on their background and understanding of their circumstances. I get it, you want a T called for these things, but then you will still have people that will call a T for things you would not agree with and that is the problem. And this is why there will never be a defined standard that everyone will agree with.
