Why can't I make Kitti's suggested site work?

Here's what Kitti sent me for the blog, but I confess that on the URL she gave me I have never been able to get past the sponsored links to track down the "less positive" spin on the "pros from Dover" that Kitti mentions. I had better luck on a British site, which may be the one Kitti was referring to later in her post. Let me know if you have better luck. Here's Kitti:


When writing my 700 word essay I found a great site entitled "phrasefinder," which provides the actual wording and meaning of commonly used phrases as well as their derivation and how their usage has been adapted over time.

The site also offers a subscription option to "phrasethesaurus" which is a British on-line publication.

I was interested in using the phrase "the pros from Dover" from MASH in my 700-word essay and was surprised to find the interpretation provided on the site had a less positive perspective than I remembered from watching the TV show years ago. I think Hawkeye would prefer my impressions.
