Seth: Ie. Means literaly "That is" in your context you wanted Eg. for "Example"
From YKTTW:
Seanzo: great site, guys. Editing the Inner Monologue to flesh out the "accidentally outer monologue" cases, it occurs to me that the usual signature, "Did I just say that out loud?" is common enough in its own right to qualify as a trope. Often it's your only clue that an inner monologue was intended. I've seen it a whole lot, not only on TV but in Web comics. Surely The Simpsons and Family Guy, for two.
Seth: You could put it as is on Other Stock Phrases or if you feel it deserves its own page start Did I Just Say That Out Loud? and post it on the Stock Phrases index. Personaly i agree this one deserves its own page.
Ununnilium: I really hate generalization examples. They don'r really add anything to the entry, and can usually be replaced with a comment in the main body along the lines of "This is really common in sitcoms."
Kendra Kirai: I'm sad. I wanted to suggest Maxxing, after the character from comics/animation who had the most trouble determining if he was speaking out loud or only in his head. :)
Grev: I'm pretty sure the "we're still on the air/miked" version of this trope deserves a page of its own. If done, might I suggest That Oughtta Hold The Little Bastards (the purported Uncle Don still on the air phrase...)
Tabby: I want to tie this in with the "Oh God, did s/he just hear that?" that's so often the end of an internal monologue that's actually internal when another character is temporarily psychic. Lump or split?
Ununnilium: Split. Putting it in here would be too unweildy.
Tabby: Done. Oh God, Did She Just Hear That?.
Donteatacowman: Edited out:
- Phineas And Ferb:
- Phineas: We're gonna put on a laser light show! And, as a grand finale we're going to laser our faces into the comet! That way, when it comes back in 73 and a half years, we can all show our grandchildren! Oh yeah, my parents are cooking steaks for everyone.Isabella: You had me at "our grandchildren".Phineas: What?Isabella: Steaks! You had me at "steaks".
...Because it's more of a Freudian Slip than anything else, correct?
