well up on phrases that weren't about Defence of the Perimeter and Strategic Withdrawal.

There's a good joke on the subject in The History Boys, "It's not an invasion; it's a planned withdrawal... You're not disputing the territory; you're negotiating the pace of the occupation."

I had forgotten tree_and_leaf's comments on the more out-there stuff about Jesus. Probably not the best to quote in bed. But if there's a thriving genre I'm sure Peter picked some of it up, possibly at the same time as the magic German accent.
