I agree with all the responses to 1,2 and 4 since these are going to be individual situations that require mature judgement from the official(s) hearing the utterance.
Having spent a year in California and 20 in New York, the one thing that differed about sportsmanship in general was the CA players were less prone to foul language and I think Long Islanders wrote the book on profanity.
It is really going to depend on your region.
As for numbers 3 and 5, there is no place in sports for desciptions of anatomy, ancestry, religion, creed, etc.
Number 3 is between teammates and if the player does not loudly verbalize I would remind him and his coach of the fact and the potential.
Number 5 sounds like intimidation and would be rewarded with, at least, an unsportsmanlike. Compare that with someone in the huddle going, "I'm going to hurt that SOB." That player would get a USC and a threat that if that player (the SOB) was injured he would be thrown out even if he wasn't on the field. (There is no thought of doing such a questionable call but does the player know that).
