quote chapter and verse
     
        [by analogy with the mainstream phrase] To cite a relevant
        excerpt from an appropriate {bible}.  "I don't care if "rn"
        gets it wrong; "Followup-To: poster" is explicitly permitted
        by {RFC} 1036.  I'll quote chapter and verse if you don't
        believe me."  See also {legalese}, {language lawyer}, {RTFS}
        (sense 2).
