Trope rename cleanup. Not an example of Allegedly Dateless if he's actually dateless


* AllegedlyDateless: Meg is considered the least successful romantically in comparison to Laura's tumultuous relationship with Gary and Bunny [[ReallyGetsAround having sex with at least a different guy every episode]]. She is at least capable of getting guys to go out with her in the first place, but generally makes an absolute mess of the date due to her awkward nature or messes up the relationship on the rare occasion that she does manage to get past the first date.

Hot Scientist is no longer a trope


** The girls at one point watch a movie called ''Dracteria'', a BMovie featuring vampiric bacteria. Bunny later gets cast as the HotScientist lead in its sequel.

Removing YMMV tropes and non-notable aversions.


* ItsEasySoItSucks: Meg's new boyfriend Andrew in 'The Third Way':
->'''Bunny''': "He's the perfect man."\\
'''Meg''': "Yes. Yes, I know, Bunny."\\
'''Bunny''': "He's very kind, isn't he? And generous."\\
'''Meg''': "And intelligent. And I've never been so bored in my life."



* NauseaFuel: In 'Sober', Bunny finds an effective remedy for constipation - a night on the razzle followed by a sponsored run the following morning.
* NoBisexuals: Averted at least to some extent by Bunny, who borders on Main/AnythingThatMoves.
* NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted. Enough said.
* NobodyPoops: Averted.

Added DiffLines:

* TheUnfavorite: Meg to her family. Her brother is lauded over by her parents, while her bedroom is turned into a walk-in wardrobe. This even extends to her extended family with Bunny inheriting a large bundle of cash and some jewellery from their grandmother with Meg only getting £10.

Added DiffLines:

* BettyAndVeronica: Gender flipped. Meg is the Archie with Andrew as the Betty, being a devoted boyfriend who actually cares about Meg, with Hot & Cold being at best FriendsWithBenefits who sleeps with Meg when he hasn't got a better offer (and sometimes even just before he has).


Added DiffLines:

* LastNameBasis: Hot & Cold only ever refers to Meg by last name.

Added DiffLines:

* IntimateTelecommunications: Laura is really, ''really'' bad at this when she tries phone sex with Gary, because she doesn't seem to know how to talk to him without berating him.

None

Added DiffLines:

* HiddenDepths: Laura displays some knowledge of tabletop [=RPGs=] when she insists the girls be allowed to join in with Gary's guild, knowing the exact way to reverse a spell cast on her by one of the other players, inadvertently killing her character. Meg even lampshades this by asking her how she knows how to do this.

* BadBoss: Malcolm is quite creepy with the girls, often making them dress in either sexualised or uncomfortable uniforms. Towards the end of the series, he ends up being PutOnABus due to a NoodleIncident that is described as akin to Harvey Weinstein.

Added DiffLines:

* TooMuchInformation: Meg, during her brief stint at a radio station, ends up disclosing that she once walked in on her father performing oral sex on her mother. Seemingly, this is too much even for the DumbassDJ and his two sidekicks, who have been notorious for driving interns to quit in tears with their "banter" and Meg gets the sack on the spot.
