What do you mean toss? A player is frustrated with missing a shot, slams the ball hard and catches it. Is that an automatic. The second half of you post says that personal comments are pretty automatic, unless it's at the very end of the game and out of ear shot. How is that using automatic? Yes I know I'm being nit-picky, but as I stated a few times on this thread. Officials neeed to be careful using the term "automatic T".

The only way I use "automatic" for judgment Ts anymore is to make the situation so specific as to render the word "automatic" meaningless.
Example: If a coach screams at me, "G$d D@mmit, Moron, you're the worst official I've ever seen and I'm going to slash your tires before you have a chance to change your shoes," I'd say that's an automatic T.
There are no "magic words" for me, though.
