* Pretty much once a book. Glinda is a ''master'' of these.
* From the second book: Nick, Scarecrow, Tip, and Jack are stuck in a jackdaw's nest. The jackdaws - massive, nasty birds - come as they're trying to escape and attack. Nick holds his ground, breaks out the axe, and fights "like a Roman gladiator" for his friends' safety. Seriously, our TinMan is a softie, but do ''not'' piss him off.
* A mention should go to a scene in The Patchwork Girl of Oz, where the eponymous crazy quilt meets a man who has 19 daughters who quite literally [[StayInTheKitchen do absolutely nothing other than sit politely and laugh at his jokes.]] The man says that he raised them that way to be polite [[ValuesDissonance in order to appeal to bachelors]]. Scraps' reaction?
--> "[[FairForItsDay That bachelor should be skinned alive!]]"
