Vis a Vis

[MarillionFan]

Vis`-a-vis´
n.1.One who, or that which, is face to face with another; esp., one who faces another in dancing.2.A carriage in which two persons sit face to face. Also, a form of sofa with seats for two persons, so arranged that the occupants are face to face while sitting on opposite sides.adv.1.Face to face.

Well that's the definition of Vis-a-vis. So why does the accountant opposite me(who is a massive cock) keep using it in terms of 'which also means'. eg. I said to him it was 10, vis-a-vis 5+5.

I think I may have to punch him in the face.

First definition dredged up by Google:

Vis-à-vis

Often now used in the sense of 'in relation to'.

You could still punch him for being an accountant though.

In addition, is the term 'That's the way I roll' applicable to accountants.

Can you roll in a different way in accountancy. I think this guy may be Russell.

Start incorrectly "air-quoting".

I don't roll that way.
