Discworld: Difference between revisions

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Fred Colon and Nobby Nobbs.

* [[Title Drop]]: Several of the books contain their title phrases at least once.

** Also Fred Colon, acting in his role as cell warden. He's stupid, but he's not an idiot. He keeps the keys in a tin box in the bottom drawer of his desk. He also ends up wandering into investigating the key to one of the mysteries in '''Thud'''.

*** Due to this Colon is one of the few people Lord Vetinari finds hard to deal with, because he is so used to dealing with people who treat words as a form of warfare that virtually ''everything'' he says carries multiple connotations, implications, innuendo, traps and suggestions.

** Or just entering the Shades.
