However, when tigris tells me that purposes of plot development required the replacement of welsh rarebit with pizza, I am not entirely convinced. A cynic might wonder whether the prospect of product-placement $$$ swayed the decision.

A giant pizza wheel is stalking me. Your argument is noncupatory invalid
I have nothing in principle against the concept of the new Riddled project, i.e. a live-action remake of Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend. I do not judge, on account of reluctance to wear silly wigs.

I didn't realise that the "champing -> chafing" malapropism goes back so far.
Our intrepid hero would do well to run from the weaponized cutter perpendicularly.
I bet "chomping" goes back further.
