The term 'magic word' stands for something you say to an umpire that gets you thrown out of a game.
The word is a 3 letter, 1 syllable word ... YOU. Umpires now do not make the call of "you're out" but the call of "he's/she's out" in an attempt to make the game less personal and more generic. When disputing an umpire's call, other than asking "What did you see?" in asking the umpire what went into making the call, using the word YOU personalizes the dispute and is sure to cause it to escalate because now the dispute is with the umpire and not the call.
