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.

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.

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.
