Line 52:
* [[Loveable Rogue]]: Professor Hill. And given how much actual good he does -- with Winthrop, Zaneeta and Tommy, and the School Board to name three -- he earns the adjective even more than the noun.
* [[Major Minor Inconvenience]]: The new pool table, owned by Mayor Shinn. You've got trouble, my friends!
* [[Make -Out Point]]: Cars aren't widespread enough for this trope to be played straight, but the youngsters can still go to "the footbridge" to kiss. Marian even Lampshades the fact that it's taken her so long to meet a guy there.
* [[Malaproper]]: The Mayor is a ''goldmine'' of these.
* [[Malt Shop]]
Line 60:
* [[The New Rock and Roll]]: "Ragtime/shameless music" and a whole host other things. Ya got trouble I say!
** With a capital T, and that rhymes with P, and that stands for "pool!"
* [[The Not -Secret]]: At the end, Harold tries to confess his true identity to Marian, only for her to tell him she's known all along.
* [[Not Staying for Breakfast]]
* [[Old Maid]]: Marian. Amaryllis also fears becoming one of these.
Line 69:
* [[Take It to The Bridge]]: It's indecent to meet boys at the footbridge.
* [[Tar and Feathers]]: The anvil salesman refers to tar and feathers, but since this is 1912 one wonders if he was simply being facetious.
** Not hardly. If you check out [[The Other Wiki]]'s [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarring_and_feathering:Tarring and feathering|article on the subject]], you will see photos of a man who was tarred and feathered in 1917.
** Not to mention being ridden out of town on a rail.
* [[That Reminds Me of a Song]]: "Shipoopi". Again.
