By-The-Book

Inspired by the use of this phrase in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, "buy-the-book" is used to communicate to the other party that there is a third party listening and disinformation is necessary.

When Amanda called her husband on speaker phone with her kids in the car, she asked for the by-the-book answer for whether the amusement park was open. He, of course, said it was closed.
