Guess the Meaning III

What phrase is suggested by this picture?

Also see Guess the Meaning I and II. They're a lot of fun, though I find it's difficult to gauge or control their difficulty.

    Nope! No knowledge of Sherlock Holmes is necessary. You only need to recognize that it is a detective.

    Hint! Three words. Second word is "by".

    Gah, this one's been driving me crazy. Unless it's some horribly play on words like "clue by four" I have no idea. I give up already!

    Uh, yeah. Yeah, 'course I know what a clue-by-four is. Knew it the whole time. ;-)

    Damn Americ... er, cultural bias. Not heard of the phrase 'til now. Besides, it's a bit of a pun and I thought you said you didn't like puns. Perhaps you've finally achieved enlightenment and seen the error of your ways? :-)

    Hmm... I don't think it's really an American phrase. More of an internet phrase.

    Well, the interweb has its own culture so I'm still right. Kinda.
