I’m thrown down by a ref for a rule violation;
I cut notes in half when in music notation;
Tag message board posts that will need moderation;
And wave me today to show pride in our nation!

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Rebecca. See comments for answer.

I’m the staff you might use when a flock you would tend;
I am found on a woodwind: you blow on my end;
I’m the hunch on a back; in a neck, I’m a bend;
And a robber of banks the police apprehend.

Who am I?

I’m a mollusk, like snails, but a shell I have not;
I am slang for a bullet just after it’s shot;
I’m a counterfeit coin used for tricking a slot;
And to punch in the face when the tension grows hot.

Who am I?

U.S. Congress has two; while a judge will have one;
Human hearts contain four; there are six in a gun;
I’m a pot used to piss; indoor music for fun;
And the place where a gas execution is done.

Who am I?

I’m a Catholic official with robes and a hat;
I’m a red-colored bird in a wood habitat;
I’m a number for counting; at Busch, I’m at bat;
And a sin to avoid, as you’d be damned for that!

Who am I?

I show Instagram posts you may wish to peruse;
To give someone a meal; or a stream of live news;
Pass a shooter his ball; give an actor his cues;
And the hay, grains, and seed that the animals use.

Who am I?

I’m a type of a bar where the patrons can eat;
To cook burgers or chicken with lines on the meat;
Golden teeth, or your personal space, on the street;
And to question a suspect and turn up the heat.

Who am I?

I’m a bus used to travel; a car pulled by rein;
Give support in Lamaze class; help ballplayers train;
I served beers back at Cheers; cheaper seats on the plane;
And a handbag for women that’s prized to obtain.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

I am making a deadline; achieve expectations;
Touch base for a beer; to acquire new relations;
To sit with your staff to discuss operations;
And track competitions, or swim congregations.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Rebecca. See comments for answer.

I’m a small processed piece, whether chocolate or oaken;
A rating for stocks; a casino-game token;
The brain of computers; how dishes get broken;
And French fries or crisps (it depends where I’m spoken).

Who am I?
