No, no, no!!! You're taking it wrong. My apologies. It's not a shot at you at all, it's just an old 'Collectorism' that fits this scenario (because of the 'over a barrel' reference). That's all.

'Collectorisms' are sort of a 'new dictionary' of collecting words, phrases, etc., that I put together periodically.
