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.

That doesn't impress me, I've been eating french fries since I was 2 years old.

Our HS favorite was:

J'aime les grand tetons.

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