I haven't read many of the books.

Sadly.

The first one I read was "Wee Free Men."

The main character, Tiffany Aching, had to save her brother, who had been kidnapped by fairies.

So she invades fairy world armed with a frying pan and some Nac Mac Feegles.

“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”

Of course, Feegles are like strong, fast, belligerent smurfs. That steal everything that's not nailed down, and then steal the nails to.

And they once headbutted the horse of the headless horseman.

Any man here want tae fight? Then fight me! Aye, fight me! An' I swear by the harp o' bones I'll tak' him tae the deeps o' the sea an' then kick him tae the craters o' the moon an' see him ride tae the Pit o' Heel itself on a saddle made o' hedgehogs! I tell ye, my rage is the strength of the storm that tears mountains intae sand! Who among ye will stand agin me?'

Big Yan, who was almost three times the size of Awf'ly Wee Billy, cowered back as the little gonnagle stood in front of him. Not a Feegle would have raised a hand at that moment, for fear of his life.
 

Feegles will fight anything that moves, steal anything that doesn't and drink anything even vaguely alcoholic.

I could go on bringing up Discworld quotes all day.

Here's one about Mr Slant. A zombie lawyer.

Mr. Slant did not, despite what had been said, have the respect of Ankh-Morpork's legal profession. He commanded its fear. Death had not diminished his encyclopedic memory, his guile, his talent for corkscrew reasoning, or the vitriol of his stare. Do not cross me this day, it advised the lawyers. Do not cross me, for if you do I will have the flesh from your very bones and the marrow therein. You know those leather-bound tomes you have on the wall behind your desk to impress your clients? I have read them all, and I wrote half of them. Do not try me. I am not in a good mood.

That would be horribly expensive.

The judge, jury, lawyers and just about everyone else would be to busy cringing from Mr. Slants every glare to convict you.

I mean, He made several lawyers all sit down. With a single glance.

They would stand up to say something, he would glance over, they would all sit.

The fea that Tiffany fought weren't the Disney or Tolkien kind either. The book describes them like this.
Terry Pratchett wrote
Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvelous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.
Terry Pratchett wrote
They steal cattle and babies...
They steal milk...
They love music, and steal away musicians...
In fact they steal everything.
We'll never be as free as them, as light as them, as beautiful as them; we are animals.
Hey son, wanna' learn how ta' make witch balls?

She also walloped Jenny Green Teeth with the frying pan.
