Would it be too terrible

[brainofck]

So, I was reading a story. A decent story. Pretty well written. Entertaining. Hot smut.

But the author wrote, at one point, that someone had a problem they were going to "nip in the butt." This did not appear to be a joke.

Now.

Would it be quite rude for me to feedback to this person that the expression is not, in fact, "nip in the butt?"

Because, on the one hand, I would be very embarrassed to get feedback like that. To the point I might even screen the comment in shame. But I would definitely want to know.

Thoughts?

Ack! That phrase should not be allowed unless meant literally or as a deliberate play on the original idiom.

i.e., If you don't nip this horrendous misuse of the English language in the bud, I may have to send a very large dog over to nip you in the butt.
