Yes, but you go ahead and construct a description of that scene where the word “director” and “cut” do not show up twice. The chuckle the reader hopefully has comes from completing the reverse construction they have to do. We can enhance their success rate by starting that reverse construction from a known common base, such as a well known cultural reference.

They don’t even need to be male or live in the US or even work in film. Anyone with a job title that says “director” would qualify.

Yeah but in practice it’s only going to be middle-aged men with kids who would say such a thing.
