* ArtidticLicenseLaw: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr9ZdBwCjwk As pointed out]] by ''LegalEagle'', whether or not Frank committed a hate crime or used hate speech is irrelevant as far as who has legal ownership of ticket. He admits the case is complicated but suggests Dee would actually have the right to sue Mac for the value of the ticket. Dennis could sue Dee to recoup his money she spent on the ticket. Nevertheless, he noted that the episode is generally more accurate to the arbitration process than previous depictions of the legal system on the show.

* ClusterFBomb: This episode contains some of the foulest language ever used on the show, with the gang dropping uncensored c-bombs, f-bombs and n-bombs while debating whether there are any words that are never appropriate to use.

** Mac, Dennis and Dee are all appalled by Frank's use of a homophobic slur, and ''everybody'' calls out Charlie when he drops the n-bomb.
** When Mac elaborates on the history of the f-word and points out that it originates from burning gay people alive at the stake, everyone (including Frank) is stunned to the point of silence.

* FromTheLatinIntroDucere: Mac claims the f-slur comes from gay people being burned at the stake. While the word did originally refer to kindling, its use as a slur [[https://www.etymonline.com/word/faggot most likely came from other slang meanings of the term]].

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Charlie drops the n-bomb when Mac asks Frank what word Frank would use to describe the (black) arbitrator if she was the one about to get hit by a piano. However, it's clear that Charlie was answering Mac's question rather than doing it out of actual malice.

* NWordPrivileges: The episode examines the question of whether it's ever okay to use a slur after Mac is offended by Frank calling him a faggot even though it saves his life. Additionally, the others are all horrified when Charlie actually ''does'' drop the n word, and Dee is offended by the guys' casual usage of "cunt" to demean women.
