Working Title: Never Use That Word Again: From YKTTW
Fanra: Someone gave an example of: For instance, when Kaylee says that she "ain't had nothing between [her] thighs that don't run on batteries", Mal says, "I...can't know that!" in tones of wonderful disgust." but that doesn't say what media it is from, so I can't add it. If you know, please add it with the name of the media.
I also did not put in: A Running Gag in the RPG World Something Completely Different strips starring Jim, the guy playing RPG World, where his friend said "If you ever do X again, I'll kill you," where X was basically anything Jim did." because that is about what someone does, rather than never say that again.
Dockmarm: Not a fan of the show, but this link leads me to believe that that first quote comes from the TV show Firefly
The Stray: While the quote is from the Firefly 'verse, it appeared in the movie. So I've moved it to the appropriate section.
But it's not an example of the trope! Mal doesn't object to any of the words Kaylee is using; he just doesn't want to hear about the sex life of a woman he thinks of as a little sister. It's not Never Say That Again, it's Too Much Information.
