Line 506:
* [[Smart People Play Chess]]: In the early novels, Vetinari plays chess. Later, when "thud" is introduced and made out to be the Disc's [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp|chess analogue]], Vetinari keeps a rare board in his viewing room and plays a friend by clacks.
* [[Spontaneous Crowd Formation]]: This is often called the official pastime of Ankh-Morpork. No matter what the citizenry are doing, if something interesting is going on, they WILL stop to watch it.
* [[Stealth Mook]]: If you want to pass your exam in the Assassin's Guild, then you have to demonstrate the ability to be stealthy like this. And yes, per regulations you have to wear all-black. Veterinari as a young assassin was the exception that proved the rule.
* [[Stop Worshipping Me!]]:
** The Lady. One of the few examples of this trope in a universe where [[Gods Need Prayer Badly]]. Explained by the fact that everyone believes in luck, even if no one worships it.
