Two possible explanations for the 'breeching' of the olive oil:
1) Sherlock is using 'breech' as a verb in its meaning of 'To cover or clothe with, or as with, breeches', in some convoluted and probably obscene pun, given that Prince Sherlock would naturally wear breeches, and that 'breech' can also be used as a term for 'the buttocks, posteriors, rump, seat'.
2) Sherlock's accurate description of the limitations of 'Mary Sutherland's' style omitted to mention an occasional weakness with homophones.
