- Family Theme Naming: The characters J-TRO and B-TRO.
- Fun with Acronyms: In this movie, "nigga" is an acronym that means Never Ignorant, Gettin' Goals Accomplished. This wasn't something invented for the movie (Tupac Shakur used it as a song title), but it hasn't really caught on, and a few reviewers have suggested that the movie uses this convention solely so that it can have white people saying the n-word.
