* ''[[Discworld]]'':
** Played with in ''[[Discworld/Thief of Time|Thief of Time]]'', where Lobsang asks Lu-Tze about his renowned mastery of several martial arts, including ''Okidoki'', ''Upsi-Dasi'', and ''Deja-Fu.'' Lu-Tze mocks them all and says that "none of the monks here know ''Deja-Fu''". {{spoiler|[[Exact Words|As it turns out, that's because he never taught them, and he himself isn't a monk]].}} From the name and the fact the monks can manipulate time, it seems likely that ''Deja-Fu'' involves making people feel the sensation of being punched just before you actually hit them while they're reeling from the blow you're about to deliver. The book does mention that the literal translation of "Deja-Fu" is "the sensation of having been kicked in the head like this before".
** Plus [[Bullet Time|time slicing]] and (if humans are capable of it, and not just [[Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti|yeti]]) [[Save Scumming]]. Evidently they are, since it gets used as a [[Chekhov's Gun]] by {{spoiler|Lu-Tze}}.
** ''[[Discworld/Making Money|Making Money]]'' refers to sloshi, the art of Martial Arts Clowning.
