I often find myself yelling “Well done!” or “Thank you!” If it’s my team, I know most of their names, so it’s “Thank you, Sean!” Since I am a lady of a certain age, I figure I can get away with an occasional “Nicely done, darling”, or “You don’t want another foul, honey”.
What I yell at officials and announcers shall remain private.
