Random pet peeve - people using the phrase ‘Lie back and think of England’ in fic set before the 20th century. 
 
It wasn’t a thing in Victorian times! I promise! It’s very specifically a phrase that makes fun of the attitude it’s describing! 
 
This message brought to you by Jane Eyre fic, which should know better.
