I can’t tell you how quickly my brain supplied “Riiichaarrd. Long for Dick, short for Lieutenant”.

I was in the mood for tomfoolery...

Good thing they have Rust around, what would they possibly do without his ✧ diplomatic input ✧

[pratchettquotes]

"I'm bought and sold, aren't I?" said Vimes, shaking his head. "Bought and sold."

"Not at all," said Vetinari.

"Yes, I am. We all are. Even Rust. And all those poor buggers who went off to get slaughtered. We're not part of the big picture, right? We're just bought and sold."

Vetinari was suddenly in front of Vimes, his chair hitting the floor behind his desk.

"Really? Men marched away, Vimes. And men marched back. How glorious the battles would have been that they never had to fight!" He hesitated, and then shrugged. "And you say bought and sold? All right. But not, I think, needlessly spent." The Patrician flashed one of those sharp, fleeting little smiles to say that something that wasn't very funny had nevertheless amused him. "Veni, vici...Vetinari."

The only person who hates Vimes getting fancier titles more than Vimes is Lord fucking Rust and I think that’s beautiful

Vetinari can punish both of them at once for their opposing shenanigans

[discworldquotes]

‘You, sir, are no gentleman,’ said Rust. ‘I knew there was something about me that I liked.’

Ankh-Morpork's nobility had to intermarry a lot, right? So the family tree would look more like a wreath in places

What I am saying is, Lord Rust has either No Chin or a Habsburg jaw and there's no in-between

Not all of nobility shares this trait, but Vimes considers having a normal-sized chin a point of pride and a proof of him not being a nob anyway

Forgot about it completely
