* HilariousInHindsight: One American publisher completely got the wrong end of the stick and mentioned something about a football team in the synopsis (apparently a misunderstanding of the Morris Men). Pratchett dryly remarked that football was one subject he'd never write a Discworld book on. Years later, cue ''Discworld/UnseenAcademicals''.

Added DiffLines:
* HarsherInHindsight: The descriptions of Granny's unstable mind after the thoughts from her alternate life start seeping in are rather unnerving given that Pratchett would later suffer from Alzheimer's Disease.
Added DiffLines:
* FridgeBrilliance: Magrat's TalkToTheFist is triggered, in the narrative, by saying the queen's attack was "exposing the core." The core of a planet is typically a big concentration of ''iron''.

** The description of the Elf queen's true form - triangular face, huge eyes, tiny mouth and nose - sounds rather similar to that of an anime character.

** Well, the American publisher (and so, Pratchett in his reaction) meant [[PoorMansSubstitute American]] football. ''Discworld/UnseenAcademicals'' is about [[CulturalPosturing European]] football, aka soccer. It's still funny.

** Well, it wasn't really childhood. Mustrum only knew Esme when he was already a student at the University and she was already learning witchcraft. He was asking her to marry him that summer, so they were probably in their late teens, early twenties at the time.
