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.

By the book faggot

By the book faggot refers to people who insist on doing things 'by the book' or properly, in fear of being reprimanded.

This type of person is extremely annoying to all rule breakers out there.

These people often run their day to day lives 'by the book' - having to set out their routine ie. go to work, do the laundry, do an assignment, hand in the assignment, go see their boyfriend, go to work and partying on the weekend. While driving to work they follow every single road rule but because they are society faggots and 'by the book faggots' they go slow thus, they should stick to the left lane; however this is NOT done because they are ignorant people. This is VERY annoying for the rule breakers who want to get by them!

These people are closely related to society faggots.

I hate how that bitch is such a goodie goodie.. she's such a 'by the book faggot'.

play by the book 

To follow rules exactly. Somewhat an antonym to play it by ear.

A: I know I'm not supposed to do anything without approval, but this is an emergency!
B: Can you handle the responsibility if something goes wrong?
A: ...
B: Then maybe you should just play by the book.

Cooking by the Book 

A female under the age of 18, therfore, off limits to those adults who might be interested in her sexually. (in reference to the internet sensation 'cooking by the book mashup' featuring rapper lil Jon and children's televison show Lazy Town)

Man, that girl is hot, too bad she's cooking by the book.
