Discworld: "A few aversions are lampshaded early on, when he notes that the use of the phrase "gypsies" is anomalous, given that there is no such thing as Egypt, but some words of place-name origin need to be kept for coherency's sake, so he's not calling them Djelibabes, as technically apropriate as that would be."

I have written a Fish Fillets
fan fiction about two fish agents. At one point they are captured by a villain, and when they finally manage to free themselves, the villain asks: "How in the seas did you escape?"

- "Stick the vibroblade in and modulate the oscillation rate."
