I don't get this, but I advertise* myself as being pretty dominant and sarcastic, so they probably know it wouldn't fly. The thought of it makes my skin crawl as well.
I had one client who once asked me if I knew what 'in the Biblical sense' meant in a really patronising tone, and I realised he clearly had never read my site. There had been an incident in that same booking where he had tried to rub his bare genitilia against mine and spat his dummy when he was told off for it (nicely, I may add). I smiled and asked him, in the sweetest voice, sure, but did he mean the King James, Jerusalam, Vulgate - or was he referring to partially completed translations such as Aramaic?
Never saw him again, can't think why.
