Line 48:
* [[Scrapbook Story]]: The novel tells various characters' stories through traditional narrators, newspaper clippings and the local Whistlestop newspaper ''The Weems Weakly.'' The end of the book evens has recipes from the titular resturant.
* [[Straw Feminist]]: Various purposefully comical stereotypes show up in Evelyn's time, and after getting caught up in the story, Evelyn herself becomes an aggressive female-empowerment activist for a while before calming down. And she is awesome.
* [[Throw It In]]: A lot of the scenes in the film were improvised, such as the drunken baseball game, or the food fight. In one instance Ninny's actress is trying to remember what her line is, before remembering it and going on. They decided to keep this in because it made for a convincing dramatic pause.
* [[Trickster]]: Idgie exhibits almost all the characteristics: disdain for social conventions, dubious relationship with the truth, gender-bending behavior, {{spoiler|seeming immortality}}.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Idgie and Ruth.
