* HarsherInHindsight: '''Everything''' about the story "William And The Nasties", to the point that it was removed from all prints of the book it originally appeared in (''William The Detective'') from 1986 onward. To recap: having heard about how "the Nasties" and their leader "Her Hitler" have recently risen to power in Germany, and too young to fully understand the implications, the Outlaws form their own group of "Nasties" and plan to rob a local Jewish sweet-shop owner (though when it comes to it, a) they do start to realise what they are doing is wrong, and b) as luck has it, there's already a robbery in progress at the shop, which the boys inadvertently foil and earn the owner's lasting gratitude). One can only hope that the boys came to understand the truth of what they had planned when World War II broke out just a few years later. (And as if that wasn't bad enough, Mr. Isaacs is portrayed as having a [[FunetikAksent German accent]], making it highly likely he was driven from his home country by the ''actual'' Nazis.)

The term is however frequently used casually to refer to the series as a whole, including here on Wiki/TVTropes, though it should really be known simply as the ''William'' series. More peculiarly, it is sometimes applied in media to the main character (e.g. ''"...a classic child hero in the mould of Harry Potter, Charlie Bucket or Just William"'') as if it were his ''name''. It is, in fact, the perfectly serviceable William Brown.
