They buy into what they hear on TV and not what is in the rulebook. Rulebook knowledge comes with time and an effort. There are officials that do not understand or have not studied specific rules, but officiate by what they hear and what they think is illegal. Which is why you will hear some officials use the term even though nothing in the rulebook uses that kind of language.
