Line 14:
** "What does kinky mean?"<ref>A line spoken by Benny in the movie, used whenever someone says "kinky" for whatever reason.</ref>
** "Sweaty, obsessive fans."<ref>A general description of (usually) hardcore Agnetha fans.</ref>
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Some fans blast ''Voulez Vous'' for being more disco-oriented.
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]: Many critics who diss ABBA tend to sing praises for ''[[Cerebus Syndrome|The Visitors]]''.
* [[Values Dissonance]]: "When I Kissed The Teacher" is a laid-back and cheerful look at a [[Teacher
** [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Then again]], given that the student is ''pushing'' herself on her ''male'' teacher, some may now see it as a [[Take That]] to the [[Double Standard]] presented with most [[Teacher
* [[Vindicated By History]]: The more pretentious type of rock critic (and rock fan) liked to deride Abba during their heyday as being little better than bubblegum pop; as Bjorn pointed out in a 2002 Australian interview, "for the main part of the group's lifespan, the critics despised us". These days, a lot of people appreciate the group for their musical and vocal craftsmanship, and for their innovation in the field of music video (see [[Trope Codifier]]).
* [[What Do You Mean
** "Honey Honey" is really about sex, so much that in the version heard in ''[[Mamma Mia|Mamma Mia!]]'', when the lines "you do your... thing" and ''[[Refuge in Audacity|"you're a dog-gone beast"]]'' are sung, the singer is [[Lampshade Hanging|clearly enjoying herself]].
** "Voulez-Vous" is about a consensual one-night stand.
