Added DiffLines:
* Wentworth's InsaneTrollLogic reaction to lots of candy is a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buridan%27s_ass Buridan's Ass.]]
* The [=MacFeegle=] use a variety of battle cries, most of which are a reference something or another, like ''Film/{{Braveheart}}'' and ''Film/TwelveAngryMen''.
** "We Willnae be fooled again!" is a reference to one of ''Music/TheWho'''s songs, though in-universe it refers to their former servitude to the Elves.
** "There can only be wun 'ousand!" is a reference to ''Film/{{Highlander}}'', and in-universe refers to the size of the clan.
* Rob Anybody Feegle's name is a reference to the folk hero Rob Roy [=MacGregor=].
* The use of [[BrownNote weaponized]] [[SuckinessIsPainful bad poetry]] may be a reference to ''Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy''. (It's also a reference to the supposed powers of Celtic bards.)
* "William the Gonnagle" is a reference to legendarily bad Scottish poet William [=McGonnagle=].
* The Wee Free Men parody ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs''. Really, really ''tough'' Smurfs. The [[TheSmurfettePrinciple one female in the clan]] is called Kelda and rules them as the one with the most intelligence.
* Tiffany's speculations about the "witch school" include mention of broomstick-riding lessons, and "Are ye a hag or no'?" is a Feeglish translation of a line from ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone''. Although Terry says that if the witch school is a reference, it's to ''Literature/TheWorstWitch'', which [[OlderThanTheyThink also has broomstick lessons]].
* The ballroom drome-dream resembles a scene from ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}''.
* The not-quite-voice ("Fwa waa fwah waa wha?") of Tiffany's dance partner (during the ballroom dream) is reminiscent of how adult speech is rendered in the various ''{{ComicStrip/Peanuts}}'' animated features.
* A queen who lures children in with sweets rules over a land where it's always snowing and time doesn't pass at the same rate as the regular world, just like in ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia''.
* The way Roland describes his meeting with the Queen calls ''Literature/TheSnowQueen'' to mind where Kai meets the Snow Queen in much the same way -- he saw her passing by with her horses and was so impressed by her appearance that he followed her willingly, ending up as a sort of foster child to someone who ''tries'' to be kind in some way, but really has no idea on what to do with a human child.
* Feegle swords glow blue in reference to ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', though the glow is triggered by the presence of lawyers, not orcs.
* One of the dream scenes Tiffany finds herself visiting, is, per WordOfGod, a description of Richard Dadd's painting "[[https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/dadd-the-fairy-fellers-master-stroke-t00598 The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke]]".
