1. Who decides if a word is inappropriate and a person can be fined for it?
2. Is there a list somewhere of swear words?
3. What happens if the Chair gives a fine for a word and the Parliamentarian disagrees?

A:

1. The chairman may declare a member to be "out of order," or, any member may rise and say to the chairman, "I call the member to order." See RONR pp. 640-1.
2. There is no list of inappropriate words in any parliamentary authority. However, any society may set its own standard of decorum. We can imagine differing standards between, say, a church group and a motorcycle club.
3. First, fines must be authorized in the bylaws; if they are not, they are as out of order as the bad language. See RONR p. 639. Second, the Parliamentarian has no authority; he serves only as an advisor on parliamentary procedure. See RONR pp. 457-8.
