[[FromBadToWorse It gets worse]] for tropers whose native language isn't English. They unawarely insert tropes into their conversations and the receiving side usually not only simply have no idea what that phrase ''means'', but can't understand what you just said AT ALL. And you can't just send them a link to explain - they don't understand English, remember?

This, when combined with a tendency to apply SquarePegRoundTrope, is why some artists aware of us aren't exactly fond of the site. On the other hand, many artists are Tropers themselves, and a number of our linguistic travesties are borrowed from industry jargon.

->''"A '''Ghost Head''' is a type of '''Cybernetic Allen Key''' which a '''Fake Thomas Jefferson''' uses to '''Impeach The Goddamn President'''. Used mostly when a writer is '''Combing His Hair''' or '''Speaking Fluent Cat''', although if a character is '''Shirtless And Hungry''' it can be used to give them a '''Fire Island Swirlie'''. See also '''The Alien Is Not An Alien''' and '''Germany Fits In My Pocket'''."''

The most evident symptom of this is the word "trope" itself, which is not commonly used outside of this site -- it's only the [[http://wordcount.org/main.php 67,470th]] most frequent English word. That's behind [[BathroomStallOfOverheardInsults "privies"]] but ahead of [[NiceHat "milliners"]], just for reference. Then, again, many foreign languages do not even have a translation for the word 'tropes'.
