Offensive pass interference is a bad call by the ref and is very offensive to the fans of the team penalized, so it is dubbed "offensive" (as opposed to defensive pass interference which is always a legitimate call by the ref, and so is viewed as a defensible penalty by the penalized).
A double-reverse is when both teams switch sides twice before the ball is hiked.

Don't say things like this--some people might believe you!

And a hand off is a penalty called when a player taps another player on the butt.

Well, it certainly had me trying to get my head round it for a while.
After reading some of this it occurs to me that you have to have been born into this culture. I shall give up; my head hurts.

There, there, Dear. Lie back with a warm compress on your head. I shall give you just one simple fact:
the offense is the team that is trying to get the ball to the goal. The defense is trying to keep them from reaching that goal: 'defending' it.
(Uh oh--one more sneaking in: that's OFF-fense, not of-FENSE, in this usage). And, at least in the south, it's DEE-fense.)
