** It's possible to narrow down the location of Dewdrop's home to a ''specific block''.
** And sometimes even ''specific buildings'' can be identified, such as Spiff's house. See the Flickr streams on the [[The Borribles/Image Links|Image Links]] subpage.
* [[Shrouded in Myth]]: Spiff. Also, the Adventurers after the survivors return from the Great Rumble Hunt -- to the point that some Borribles later do not believe the Hunt
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Firmly on the Cynical end, at least as far as the narrative point of view is concerned. The Borribles themselves seem to sit on the balance point, aware that it's a [[Crapsack World]] and that life frequently sucks, but still managing to be surprisingly happy and occasionally even light-hearted among it all.
* [[Sound Off]]: "Sussworth's Victory Song" in ''The Borribles Go For Broke'', which is as much a political manifesto as it is this trope.
