!!Examples:

* BourgeoisBohemian: Their mother was a hippie, but when they meet her again after years, she has become a successful yuppie.
* TheBully: "Missing link"
* CloudCuckoolander: Ian, big time. He likes to imagine that he's really an alien from a planet where all people only have four fingers. Oh, and the women there all have big breasts, [[BuxomBeautyStandard because he noticed that this look is appealing to him]].
* EmbarrassingNickname: "Moonkid" for Ian, because his second name is Callisto, like one of Jupiter's moons. (Which is a girl's name in Greek.) He retaliates by calling the guy who invented the name "missing link".
* HippieName: Ian Callisto "Moonkid" and Liberty "Libby" got their names from HippieParents.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Ian and his only friend from school lead the bully and his buddies into a trap. When Ian has real power over the bully for the first time, he notices (to his shock) that he likes it somehow.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Hippies, of course.
