'''Spoiler Alert:''' There is one slowly-building twist that it is all but impossible not to reveal in a discussion about this book, so read on at your peril: {{spoiler|Polly comes to learn that she's not the only fighting "man" in her squad with something to hide...}} Mind you, is it fair to call this a spoiler when [[Genius Bonus|it's mentioned in the book's title]]?

 

* [[Actually, I Am Him]]: Polly talks to a worn-looking lowly sergeant from the Ankh-Morpork forces, unaware that he's actually Vimes.

* [[Addiction Displacement]]: Maladict replaces blood with coffee.

** Otto remarks that maybe this may have not been the best thing to replace an addiction with - "dying for a cup of coffee" is far too easy to say.

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: {{spoiler|Most of the Regiment, especially Tonker and Lofty}}, Blouse, {{spoiler|and Maladicta seems to have a thing for Polly}}.

{{quote|It's not done to eat your ''own'' leg, is it? [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|You'd go blind.]]}}

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Tonker will slice you open if you touch Lofty, Lofty {{spoiler|will torch the world if it does something she doesn't like}}, and Wazzer will try to take on someone 3 times her size if they bad-mouth the Duchess. The results are not pretty.

{{quote|'''[[The Igor|Igor]]''':"Thith beer tatheth like horthe pithth. [...] I never thaid I didn't ''like'' it."}}

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tonker and Lofty, respectively.

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: References to one's "socks," which is what Polly uses to substitute for certain... missing parts.

* [[Waif Prophet]]: Wazzer is rather delicate and nervous, mentally unbalanced in a way that makes her seem a bit eerie, and eventually serves as the conduit for the Duchess's ghost.
