* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: "Kalle Blomkvist", embarrassing to Mikael because it's really the name of the protagonist in a series of mystery novels for little kids (that by the way was written by the creator of Pippi Longstockings). Lisbeth calls him this whenever she wants to tease him or he's annoying her, and she's the only one he lets do it without getting upset.

* [[Ethical Slut]]: Lisbeth and Mikael both, in slightly different ways. Lisbeth views sex as a way to have fun (she's noted as having been with 50 different people by the beginning of the series), but she also has a strict personal code of morals that pushes her to try and protect innocents. Mikael has similar ethics, but his sexual liaisons tend more toward the serious side; he's just had plenty of them.

* [[Everyone Has Lots of Sex]]: When publishing the first book, Larsson's editor asked him to put more sex scenes to appeal the audience. It shows. By the third volume, he didn't have to do this anymore. Thankfully, the slightly more tasteful film adaptations leave a couple unnecessary ones out.
