I just heard a reporter on the BBC - on Radio 4, yet! - talking about "two passer-bys". Who could conceivably say that, and not be strangled in outrage by their own tongues? I grant that one says sergeants-major and attorneys-general more for the fun of it than the necessity, but passers-by isn't even pedantic, it's just right...
