How about this one among officials:

Offense holds behind the LOS on a pass play, so you "apply the all-but-one principle on that one."
What's wrong with that?
Pretty much all penalties are enforced applying the all-but-one principle, with only a few exceptions (Rule 10). It's only the "but one" part that applies to the play in my original example (a foul by the offense behind the basic spot). But, generally speaking, all-but-one is used to enforce almost all fouls.
