Ha! Yes, that's the one. Or, in my case, there's a whole bevy of the blighters, and a few phrases as well. Including in one case the phrase "flank by jowl" which made it through how many rounds of eyes before the proofreader very tactfully said, "Really? Do you perhaps mean cheek by jowl? Because I have this image of a courtyard full of people crammed arse to face now…"
Just keep hitting them with Princess Bride quotes until they succumb.
Also, flank by jowl, rofl
Thank god there's professionals on the job is all I can say!
