Continuity mistake: During the attempted record-breaking webcast, when Spencer is seen explaining his sculpture on the studio's screen the red leaf blower falls backwards, but when he is seen live the blower has fallen forward.
Trivia: In the episode when Carly learns of Freddie's and Sam's kiss. In the beginning of the episode, Carly and Sam talk about how kids don't eat their vegetables, then take out some squash. Little known fact, squash is actually a fruit.
Question: I need someone from across the pond to help settle an argument between me and my wife. In the episode "i Rock the Vote", Wade Collins repeatedly uses the term "hob knocker." My kids asked, "What's a 'hob knocker'?" I said that it was something they made up that sounds somewhat British, probably insulting, and possibly vulgar. My wife insists that she has heard it somewhere else. So, for the record, what, if anything, does "hob knocker" mean?

Answer: In direction translation it means 'Mischievous Spirit'. 'Hob' as in HobGoblin means clown or prankster, and 'Knocker' was an old age term for Poltergeists in mines. Miners would often complain of hearing knocking sounds down mines when there was no-one else down there, hence 'Knocker'. It's not a regular English expression though.
