We had a situation on a game worked this year where Vlade Divac was charged with a foul and was being substituted for. As he was going out of the game, he walked passed the calling official and said very quietly, "eiou muazer phadfkjaaldsafad." Now, of course he got whacked.

When Divac realized what was happening, he spoke in English "your barn door is down".

Now what? :)

Someone could say "great play" and deserve a T for it.

If they said in a sarcastic way to an opponent who just did something stupid.

A few years back I was working games at the Nike World Master's Tournament in Portland, OR...had a Lithuanian team playing, and one of them didn't like a call - said something in whatever language they speak there, and I T'd him No idea what he said, but the expression and body language told me it wasn't a compliment...one of the other Lithuanian players walked by me and said "Good call, referee. He deserved that." So like they said - it isn't always WHAT they say...

That's funny, did you ever get the translation?

I asked the player who told me it was a good call, but he said I didn't want to know, so we left it at that...

This kid would get at least The Look, and possibly a T also, from me.

Je le parle . . .

And like Rut said - it's not always what you say, but how you say it. After going to a high school with a large number of foreign students, I have a pretty good idea of when someone's swearing at me in any language.

My most recent game had my partner T up a kid for saying ,"Finally!" I don't care for THAT f-bomb either.

Merde...this must be an important word, when I took french in HS every test came back to me with MERDE!!! scribbled in red all over it.

I figured it was a good thing.

Our HS favorite was:

J'aime les grand tetons. :D

It was a classic on our school trip to see them in Whoming in 8th grade.
