Find-and-replace fun

So, one of my clown characters was named Uncle Buck. However, because I added Uncle after I had written Buck a few times, I did a find-and-replace to change every "buck" to "uncle buck."

So, every time buck shows up in the manuscript, it has uncle before it. Even if Buck is not a proper name. With hilarious results:

  • He gave her a sound, sexy kiss that made Maddy's knees Uncle Buckle.
  • "Food," he said, and handed Maddy a Uncle Bucket. "Original Recipe?"
  • Maddy brought the Uncle Bucket of chicken over and plopped down next to Michael.
