In junior high I got sent to the principal's office for calling a girl a cow.
Not because "cow" is so offensive (and actually I did it in a much more nerdy way, insinuating that her genetics were half bovine or something), but because I found out later that her parents had complained to the school that she was getting targeted by hurtful students. Which was funny, since everyone knew SHE was a bully.
But I digress. Thing is, I was in the student council at the time, and was therefore in the principal's office all the time on official business, so they assumed that's what I was there for this time too. They had me run a few errands and sent me back to class. That was the only referral I ever got.
