* TackyTuxedo: Since it was the only one in his size, Angus wears a particularly hideous purple one to the Winter Ball.

* TackyTuxedo: Since The cut and materials aren't out of the ordinary, but since it was the only one in his size, Angus wears a particularly hideous hideously-colored purple one tux to the Winter Ball.

Natter. It's probably better suited a Fridge Brilliance entry.


** Bullies do what they do by seeking out what they perceive to be easy targets. Why doesn't Rick Sanford back down despite having a glass nose? Because Angus is an easy target for Rick in another form: Angus' [[SlobsVsSnobs naturally low social standing]], and the fact that Melissa, Angus' object of obsession, is Rick's girlfriend. A few broken noses is probably worth the sick kicks he's been getting with a killer hand like that.

Moving cut What An Idiot entry that lacked the proper formatting here.

* BullyingADragon: Even though Angus is strong enough to overpower Rick and break his nose multiple times from childhood to high school, Rick continuously harasses and bullies Angus despite the fact that he gets beaten down almost every time. Most bullies tend to back off when they realize their victims can successfully fight back and defend themselves. Rick, despite years of getting broken noses from Angus, never seems to learn from his encounters.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: Once he gets to know her, Angus learns that despite being a popular, attractive cheerleader, Melissa is just as scared and insecure about herself as he is about himself. She even sweats when she gets nervous, just like he does.

* ColorMotifs: Angus' science project involves a foreign element (colored red) either blending in or being rejected by a homogeneous body (colored blue). Later, we get an overhead shot of of him wearing a red jacket at a school spirit rally where everyone else is wearing blue, the school color. Near the end, the foreign element in his experiment finally mutates and is accepted by the larger body, turning the compound in his petri dish to a purple color... Just like the tux Angus wears when he decides to attend the dance after all.

* GlassCannon: Rick himself is athletic enough to be a star football player and his punches are enough to hurt Angus. However, he himself goes down pretty easily if Angus is pissed off enough to put a hurting on him.
