So, like, um...
"The hired assassin hit the frog and toad with his mark."
Or...
"The police had a Captain Cook at the scene of the crime."
That's probably incorrect use of idiom, right?

Capt Cook was an English explorer. He claimed Australia back in 1788 for the British Empire before the french could claim it.
