Picture of text from a discworld nove; - 

“Female? He told you he was female?” “She,” Angua corrected. “This is Ankh- Morpork, you know. We’ve got extra pronouns here.”

She could smell his bewilderment... “Well, I would have though she’d have the decency to keep it to herself,” carrot said finally. “I don’t think it’s very clever, you know, to go around drawing attention to the fact.” “Carrot, I think you might have something wrong with your head,” said Angua. “What?” “I think you might have it stuck up your bum.”
