'... you know what people call men who wear wigs and gowns, don't you?'
'Yes, miss.' 'You do?' 'Yes, miss. Lawyers, miss.' (FE) The young woman stood on a corner in the Shades. Her general stance indicated that she was, in the specialised patois of the area, a lady-in-waiting. To be more precise, a lady-in-waiting for Mr Right, or at least Mr Right Amount. (FE)
Nanny Ogg had always considered herself unshockable, but there's no such thing. Shocks can come from unexpected directions. (CJ)

There were a large number of ranks in the armies of the Empire and many of them were untranslatable. Three Pink Pig and Five White Fang were, loosely speaking, privates, and not just because they were pale, vulnerable and inclined to curl up and hide when danger threatened. (IT)
He wasn't certain what unisex was but expected that it was what he normally experienced. (IT)
… when it came to rampant eroticism, you could do a lot better than a one-eyed tortoise. (SG)
‘… a bit of hussing never did anyone any harm.’ (WA)
Nanny had nothing against witches being married. It wasn’t as if there were rules. She herself had had many husbands, and had even been married to three of them. (SLF)
'Throwing women over your pommel and riding off into the night isn't approved of around here. It's probably an ism,' he added gloomily. (BOS)
She leaned forward and gave him a kiss as insubstantial as a mayfly’s sigh, fading as she did so until only the kiss was left, just like a Cheshire cat only much more erotic. (M)
Magrat took a cake by its little case rather carefully. Some of Nanny Ogg’s recipes could include …. unusual ingredients, and she already had three children. (SC)
… it was clear that when curves were being handed out, Letitia had been at the end of line. (SC)
‘Always thought I’d be the first to go, what with my drinkin’ and suchlike, especially the suchlike.
