Our biggest problem, though, is always during the football camps. The local university has our association officiate their scrimmages at the end of the camp. At the end of a week working with college coaches and graduate assistants, they are all swearing like sailors. It takes a few rags at the beginning of the scrimmage to calm them down, but they get back on track. (The college coaches, however, love to hound us for that.)

We tossed one at the scrimmage on Saturday. I believe his quote was, "Come on, Ref, what's your F'ing problem. God F'ing Dammit" Bye bye ... 15 enforced on the try, which they subsequently missed.

That's F-horse sh*t has sound like it is directed at an official. Ejection warrented.

F-n B**ch to another player is a warrented ejection also. You don't say crap like that to another teams player.

There's nothing worse than a potty mouth teenage kid (or an adult for the matter). If I'm WH I give captains a warning after the coin toss and before the 2nd half. I can understand if a kid drops a pass and walking back to his huddle says "d---" to himself, but even then if I hear it I'll calmly let him know to watch his language.
