* [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in the fan fic series [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6743572/chapters/15411358 TIE Fighter]] in relation to Chiss names and the difficulty humans have pronouncing the full versions and why they prefer humans just not try. “Pronounced improperly, [Thelea’s] name can inadvertently sound like our language’s word for a small tunneling rodent that lives in the high snow pack on our world.”

* In ''Fanfic/HowFriendshipAccidentallySavedMagicalBritain'', Umbridge accosts Tom at dinner, and he (genuinely) accidentally calls her "Professor Um''bitch''" with perfect sincerity, much to his classmates' horror and delighted awe. He decides to roll with it and insist that, yes, he was in fact referring to ''her'', Professor Umbitch, which she responds to by attempting to curse him, prompting Moody to descend upon her and transform her into a toad. He doesn't even get detention or any kind of discipline for disrespecting a faculty member, and she stays the hell away from Tom for the rest of the school year. So it all works out in the end.

* ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheNatural20'': Milo is extremely prone to this, largely due to his unwillingness to pay attention to things he considers non-relevant fluff material. Victims include Gilderoy Lockhart, Dean and Seamus, and Dumbledore's lengthy list of titles. The one time he does get the last one correct, [[spoiler:everyone immediately realize he's controlled by the Imperius Curse]].
