Line 82:
* [[Fell Off the Back of a Truck]]: Played with. Mentions of things falling off the backs of lorries would be followed by comments about how bumpy the roads are in London, or what a useful thing gravity is. As every Borrible is a thief by definition, all the uses of the phrase are clearly very ironic.
* [[Final Solution]]: What Inspector Sussworth is hoping to enact upon all Borribles, everywhere.
* [[Five-Finger Discount]]: "Fruit of the barrow is enough for a Borrible." Idly snagging an apple here and a bit of bread there as they drift through an open-air market is a non-uncommon way for Borribles to feed themselves.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Sydney.
* [[Funny Animal]]: The Rumbles qualify for this trope in every way -- and are a definite reminder that "funny animals" are not necessarily humorous.
