History JustForFun / TropeEpitaphRenamedTropesMToZ

* Here lies '''Opening a Can of Clones''' -- Had {{no permanence|NoStakes}} after its head was put on a stake.[[note]]The unclear name caused severe misuse. It was also moved to YMMV since the stakes in a story are subjective.[[/note]]

* Here lies '''Pick on Someone Your Own Species''' -- Was picked on by its [[AnimalNemesis nemesis.]][[note]]Was too broad and led to examples that didn't involve a human taking revenge on an animal.[[/note]]

* Here lies '''Take That, Us!''' -- [[DarthWiki/TVTropesRuinedYourLife We wasted so much time choosing page names instead of living our lives]], and yet this one [[SelfDeprecation had to be deprecated]].

* Here lies '''The Thing''' -- We needed to [[TalkAboutThatThing talk about it somewhere else.]][[note]]Named after an episode in ''Series/FamilyTies'' where they referred to the sensitive topic that prompted a RoomShuffle as "the thing". However, [[Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome it was often confused for other characters/works named "The Thing".]][[/note]]

* Here lies '''Trope the Light Fantastic''' -- We're [[DancingTropes dancing]] on this grave. [[note]]Original index name had nothing to do with dancing.[[/note]]

* Here lies '''We Could Have Avoided All This''' -- We {{could have avoided this|Plot}} death if it weren't for its misuse.[[note]]Gratuitous StockPhrase.[[/note]]

* Here lies '''You Are Batman''' -- [[TakingUpTheMantle Took up the mantle]] for a deadly job.[[note]]The old name was obtuse and had a gratuitous TropeNamer.[[/note]]

* Here lies '''No Capes!''' -- [[CapeSnag Snagged by a jet turbine.]] [[note]]Old name was a reference from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''; renamed for clarity.[[/note]]

* Here lie '''No Purple Dragons''' and its successor '''Ain't No Rule''' -- Ain't no rule that an {{animal athlete|loophole}} can't be buried here.[[note]]Was misused for LoopholeAbuse (where the old name is now a redirect) when it's about animals participating in human sports competitions. Also, the former name was an obscure reference to ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'', but it was inaccurate because Madam Mim turned into a purple dragon to loophole the "no ''pink'' make-believe creatures" rule.[[/note]]

* Here lie '''No Purple Dragons''' and its successor '''Ain't No Rule''' -- Ain't no rule that an {{animal athlete|loophole}} can't be buried here.[[note]]Was misused for LoopholeAbuse (where the old name is now a redirect) when it's about animals participating in human sports competitions. Also, the former name was an obscure reference to ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone''.[[/note]]

* Here lies '''Rose-Haired Girl''' -- Her diabetes killed her after she ate something too [[RoseHairedSweetie sweet]].[[note]]Was misused for any pink-haired girl or woman.[[/note]]

* Here lies '''You Suck''' -- Actually, you don't, [[DistinctionWithoutADifference but you're still]] a [[ThisLoserIsYou loser.]][[note]]A misused PotholeMagnet for [[TakeThatAudience any jabs against the audience]] instead of a highly unflattering AudienceSurrogate.[[/note]]

* Here lie '''Not So Fast''' and '''Midstrike Monologue''' -- Were caught {{inaction|Sequence}}.[[note]]The former name was not only confused for a StockPhrase, but was also confused with the unrelated trope Not So Fast, Bucko, which itself was renamed to YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle. It was renamed to Midstrike Monologue, but it was renamed again because the scene didn't necessarily have to include a monologue.[[/note]]

%%Criteria:
%%* Only renamed tropes or indexes (including those that were renamed per TRS and members of the Permanent Red Link Club) are eligible for inclusion here.
%%* To quote ''The Lord of the Rings'', one does not simply list a renamed trope. All entries must include an epitaph.
%%* Epitaphs must be Clear, Concise, Witty.
%%* Epitaphs must also describe, in about a sentence or so and a straight or humorous manner, why the trope got renamed.
%%* No Flame Bait or offensive language.
%%* Do NOT use this to complain about your favorite tropes being renamed. TV Tropes hates pages that are nothing but complaining, and this page was not created to be a magnet for complaining, so if you've nothing nice nor funny to say about a recent cut or discarding, don't say anything at all here.
%%* Corollary to the above: ABSOLUTELY NO mockery of the creators of renamed tropes. Doing so will only invite trouble, and this page was not created to bash this site or its users, including the higher-ups. Any entry that directly bashes either this site, its mod team, or any other Troper, current or former, is in violation of the rules and will be rewritten or deleted.
%%* In the words of Fast Eddie: "Please try to keep a sense of humor going." In the words of The Joker: "Why so serious?". That means no entries that end up missing the point of this whole joke or otherwise would risk diluting the humor. Any entry that's in violation will be rewritten or, in cases where the epitaph is unsalvageable in that respect, deleted.
%%* There's a bug that crops up if a page contains multiple notes with identical text, so try to avoid this in the explanatory notes, particularly if they're something very short like "underperforming stub".
%%* Don't use spoiler tags. Such tags will be either self-fulfilling or confusing given the context.

* Here lies Made with 100% Pure Grade-A Crap -- Was recalled and replaced with AsbestosFreeCereal.[[note]]Sounded too negative and was mistaken for OurProductSucks.[[/note]]
* Here lies Magic Ampersand -- Rolled a 1 during a session of AlliterationAndAdventurers.[[note]]Trope decay and unclear name led it to being renamed since it's a trope that parodies ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' by following its name format.[[/note]]
* Here lies Magic Cam -- Its eulogy [[SurveillanceDrone droned]] on and on.[[note]]It was renamed due to not having anything to do with magic.[[/note]]
* Here lies Magic Missile -- Got hit with a ProjectileSpell.[[note]]Was renamed to focus more on the "magic" part than the "missile" part.[[/note]]
* Here lies Magic Warrior -- Bested by an even stronger [[MagicalGirlWarrior magical girl]].[[note]]The old name was confusing, so the trope was renamed for clarity's sake.[[/note]]

* Here lies Mainlining the Monster -- Flatlined after a [[MonsterOrganTrafficking traffic accident when the materials were in transit]].[[note]]Originally was meant for harvesting a monster for drugs, but some are not familiar with the term. It was then broadened to cover other purposes and renamed.[[/note]]
* Here lies Make Me Wanna Shout -- Was drowned out by a SuperScream.[[note]]Was too broad in its description, resulting in people to mistake it for being about generic sound powers or loud noises in general. It was renamed to clarify that it's specifically about sonic scream abilities, with the old name disambiguated.[[/note]]
* Hic iacet Malus ex Machina -- [[DigitizedHacker Hacked]] with malware.[[note]]Failed imitation of DeusExMachina that had nothing to do with hacking.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Man -- {{Blam|ingTheMan}}ed for his own murder.[[note]]The original definition was unclear, and later refined to blaming ambiguous authority figures, necessitating a rename.[[/note]]
* Here lies Manatee Gag -- The scene {{cut away|Gag}} before we could see its death.[[note]]Was a confusing multilayered reference to ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', while CutawayGag was an accepted offsite term. Incidentally, the trope was initially drafted under its current name but was somehow launched under its old one.[[/note]]
* Here lies Man in White -- Was killed by a VillainInAWhiteSuit.[[note]]Was misused for [[Administrivia/PeopleSitonChairs any male character who wore white.]][[/note]]
* Here lies Marathon Man -- Ran out of PlotPoweredStamina and died running the marathon.[[note]]Renamed for clarity and to avoid confusion with [[Film/MarathonMan the work of the same name.]][[/note]]
* Here lie Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot -- [[WesternAnimation/FeedTheKitty Kicked out when their owner discovered trash all around the house]].[[note]]Named after the two main characters from ''WesternAnimation/FeedTheKitty'', which was lost on many tropers, while many who did get the reference thought the scope was limited to dogs and cats. This led to the trope being renamed to LittleGuyBigBuddy.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Mario -- He changed his name to {{Jack|OfAllStats}}.[[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, especially since Mario is famous for things other than having balanced gameplay.[[/note]]
* Here lies Martin Guerre -- [[DeadPersonImpersonation His identity was stolen after his death.]][[note]]Renamed to avoid collision with [[Theatre/MartinGuerre the musical of the same name.]][[/note]]
* Here lie Mary Kay Letourneau Teaches Here and Hot For Student -- Got an F in TeacherStudentRomance.[[note]]The former name was too long and an obscure reference to a highly publicized RealLife example, while the latter was renamed to clarify that the romance goes both ways.[[/note]]
* Here lies Mary Kelly's Kidney -- Her kidnappers sent her FingerInTheMail, but she ultimately died of kidney failure.[[note]]Obscure reference to UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper.[[/note]]
* Here lie Mary Poppins Syndrome and its successor, My Work Is Done Here -- After their purposes were fulfilled, [[ButNowIMustGo they told us that they were leaving this place for another]].[[note]]The initial name was a victim of Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, while the initial rename was an unclear stock phrase.[[/note]]
* Here lies Mary Sueperpower -- Due to her powers causing [[PerfectionIsAddictive withdrawals and nasty side effects]] to bystanders, she had her powers stripped off, leaving her an [[{{Glamour}} unglamorous mess]].[[note]]Was mistaken for a MarySue trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Masquerainment -- People unsuccessfully tried to [[FictionAsCoverUp cover up]] its death.[[note]]It was underused due to the opacity of the portmanteau (masquerade + entertainment).[[/note]]
* Hier ligt/Di sini terletak Mata Hari -- Killed by a FemmeFataleSpy.[[note]]The wicks mostly led to the TropeNamer and not the trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Matchmaker.com -- Was shut down after a DatingServiceDisaster.[[note]]Too broad, was confused for a company name, and the original name lacked the requirement that the date turned out bad.[[/note]]
* Po nitman/At ligt Matzo Fever -- The {{gentile|JewChaser}} finally married a Jewish wife who can [[ThroughHisStomach satisfy his Matzo cravings]].[[note]]Was misused any character finding Jewish characters attractive instead of non-Jewish characters finding Jewish ones attractive ''because'' of their religion.[[/note]]
* Here lies Mawkish Mistake -- Was heartwarmingly given concern... for [[BaitAndSwitchSentiment lack of catch]]. [[note]]The word "mawkish", which means sentimental in a sickly way, sounded [[SeparatedByACommonLanguage too obscure for American and international readers]] and was renamed at the last minute, so it was sent back and renamed to the current title.[[/note]]
* Here lies [=McDuck=] -- His [[MrViceGuy greed]] led him down a lethal path.[[note]]The old name suffered from Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome on top of lacking "The" and being easy to misformat.[[/note]]
* Here lies [=McLeaned=] -- [[Series/{{MASH}} Shot down on the way home]] after [[ActorLeavesCharacterDies leaving the set]].[[note]]Often sees misuse for other reasons that the actor's absence would kill a character, so it was renamed for clarity.[[/note]]
* Here lies [=McLintock=] Punch -- Struck off-guard and [[TurnTheOtherFist punched]] into a ravine.[[note]]Suffered from Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, leading to severe underuse.[[/note]]
* Here lies Mega Manning -- Was killed by a murderer who [[PowerCopying copied its abilities]].[[note]]Renamed for clarity.[[/note]]
* Here lie Me Love You Long Time and an Asian Gal with White Guy -- Even with all their [[MightyWhiteyAndMellowYellow might to survive, their over-mellowness did them in]].[[note]]The first name was a reference to ''Film/FullMetalJacket'', which was kind of racist, not an example, and too obscure to be a trope; while the second name led to [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs chairs shared by East Asian women and White men.]][[/note]]
* Here lies Memetic Outfit -- Wasn't {{iconic|Outfit}} enough to be a meme.[[note]]Being "{{memetic|Mutation}}" made the trope subjective and narrow.[[/note]]

* Here lies The Messiah -- [[AllLovingHero Loved everyone]]... even the serial killer who killed it.[[note]]Was frequently misused for MessianicArchetype.[[/note]]
* Here lies Metroid Bomb -- Exploded after a CatastrophicCountdown.[[note]]Named after one such bomb from ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'', but was confused for other bombs from the game.[[/note]]
* Here lies Metronomic Mook Massacre -- {{M|etronomicManMashing}}ashed to death.[[note]]It didn't have much to do with either {{mook}}s or massacres.[[/note]]
* Here lie Milky White Eyes -- Spoiled by a {{prophet|Eyes}}.[[note]]Eye color trope that was renamed since it's about a prophet's eye color changing when they see the future.[[/note]]
* Here lies Millitary Rank Superhero/Villain Names -- Stripped of its {{military rank|Names}} after a failed battle with a GrammarNazi.[[note]]Misspelled trope name (military with an extra "l") combined with underuse.[[/note]]
* Here lies Milli Vanilli -- Their [[SameLanguageDub lip-syncing]] was exposed and sunk their career.[[note]]Was often used to refer to [[Music/MilliVanilli the group]] rather than the trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Mind Manipulation -- Things got out of [[MindControl control]], leading to its death.[[note]]Used an AlliterativeName rather than a preexisting term, with said preexisting term already having significantly more wicks than the original name. In addition, the page was converted from an index to a supertrope due to how often it was used as a trope (mostly under the name MindControl instead of Mind Manipulation).[[/note]]
* Here lies Minus Four Strength -- Its [[GameFavoredGender gender]] made it an easy target for the enemy.[[note]]Named after an obscure ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' meme.[[/note]]
* Here lies Misaimed Marketing -- Its [[MisaimedMerchandising merch]] didn't sell well.[[note]]Was supposed to be when a work's marketing, usually its promo material or kid-oriented merch, misses the point of its message, but it suffered misuse, which included examples that better fit NeverTrustATrailer.[[/note]]
* Here lies Missed Moment of Awesome -- This trope's original epitaph has eroded, but [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome it had to be seen to be believed]].[[note]]Misused as an {{Audience Reaction|s}} for alleged missed opportunities in works, rather than an objective trope for a character claiming something awesome happened offscreen.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Missingno -- Missing in action for so many days that a different GlitchEntity took the glitch Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'s place.[[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome. People often misused it to refer to works that merely referenced the original Missingno. (a glitch Franchise/{{Pokemon}} from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue''), despite the trope referring to any game element that exists solely due to a glitch (primarily characters and items). The old name was turned into a disambiguation page between the new name and the page for ''Pokémon Red and Blue''.[[/note]]
* Here lies Mister Cleaver -- His parenting wasn't [[StandardFiftiesFather standard enough in the 1950s]].[[note]]Was named after the main father character from ''Series/LeaveItToBeaver'', but not everyone understood the reference, without which it could be mistaken for other tropes.[[/note]]
* Here lies Mister Danger -- His [[EvilColonialist colonialist]] ways were outdated, so no one mourned his death.[[note]]Named after a character from ''Literature/DonaBarbara'' whom nobody understood.[[/note]]
* Here lies Mixed Marriage -- {{Maligned|MixedMarriage}} and murdered by a racist mob.[[note]][[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs Mixed-race married couples share chairs]], so the trope was renamed for clarity.[[/note]]
* Here lies MK Walker -- [[Franchise/MortalKombat Finished]] by a PerfectPlayAI.[[note]]Renamed for clarity and to discourage non-video game uses of the trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Moebius Neighborhood -- Demolished to make way for the OneNeighborNeighborhood.[[note]]The connection to the Möbius strip was too obscure, leading to underuse.[[/note]]
* Moe Moe ga koko ni nemuru -- Chopped in half, but being smaller just made it [[{{Moe}} more adorable!]][[note]]An old trope title minimum wouldn't allow three-letter titles, hence the [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment redundant name]]. When that limitation was fixed, it was quickly changed to the proper otaku term.[[/note]]
* Here lies Morale Event Horizon -- Was left in {{despair|EventHorizon}}.[[note]]Was a punny snowclone of MoralEventHorizon, but people mistook it for a misspelling of that trope.[[/note]]
* Here lie More Tropes Than God -- Excommunicated for their {{blasphem|ousBoast}}y.[[note]]Renamed in the process of deprecating the use of "trope" as a placeholder.[[/note]]
* Here lies Moses in the Bullrushes -- Knocked into the [[MosesInTheBulrushes bulrushes]] by a rushing bull.[[note]]Misspelled trope name -- "''bulrushes''" is the intended word.[[/note]]
* Here lies Mother Penguin -- Abused by an overly SternNun.[[note]]The trope was originally named after a character in ''Film/TheBluesBrothers'', but not everyone understood the reference.[[/note]]
* Here lie Mulligan the Headsman and Klutz the Surgeon -- Laughed at because of their {{Real Joke Name}}s.[[note]]The first name required familiarity with the ''ComicStrip/TheWizardOfId'' character to understand, while the first rename was mistaken for ComicallyIneptHealing.[[/note]]

* Here lies My Baby Doll -- Dropped by a careless {{baby|DollBaby}}sitter.[[note]]Misused to refer to the toy in general rather than characters who were fooled into thinking it was an actual baby, leading to a rename to BabyDollBaby.[[/note]]
* Here lies My God, What Have You Done? -- WhatTheHellHero ''You're'' the one who killed it![[note]]Poor snowclone of MyGodWhatHaveIDone.[[/note]]
* Here lies My Name is Inigo Montoya -- Now reduced to dust blown away by the [[HeroicSecondWind wind.]][[note]]The original name was a reference to ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', and thus had nothing to do with the trope it is describing.[[/note]]
* Here lie My Name is Prince Darien and Errors Through Localization -- Fell into a [[DubInducedPlotHole hole.]][[note]]The former was an obscure reference to the Creator/DiC dub of ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' while the latter sounded too negative.[[/note]]
* Here lies My Revenge is Mercy -- Died a [[VillainsDyingGrace graceful]] death.[[note]]The old name wasn't indicative enough.[[/note]]
* Nakama ga koko ni nemuru -- Outlived by its TrueCompanions.[[note]]Misuse of a preexisting Japanese word. The word "nakama" was ''thought'' to mean what the trope means, but it really means "friend" or "companion". This one can be laid at the feet of Kaizoku Fansubs, a prominent ''Manga/OnePiece'' subbing group that [[TooLongDidntDub refused to translate]] "nakama" on the grounds that it allegedly had some deeper meaning that couldn't be concisely expressed in English.[[/note]]
* Here lie Name That Tune and Theme Tune Cameo -- [[DiegeticSoundtrackUsage No one in the universe could hear them]].[[note]]The former collided with [[Series/NameThatTune the show of the same name]] while the latter was being used for "any preexisting music appearing in a work, whether in-universe or not". The definition was reworked into DiegeticSoundtrackUsage.[[/note]]
* Here lies Narrow Escape -- Discovered hiding BehindAStick and assassinated.[[note]]Was mistaken for the phrase's common meaning.[[/note]]
* Here lies Needs a Better Description -- [[Administrivia/PagesNeedingABetterDescription We made a better one here.]][[note]]Was misused as a PredefinedMessage instead of a directory of tropes needing help. The old name was then sent to the Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub.[[/note]]
* Here lies Needs Wiki Magic Love -- The [[Administrivia/PagesNeedingWikiMagic wiki magic it needed]] wasn't enough to keep itself alive.[[note]]Was often misused as a predefined message placed on pages that need [[Administrivia/TVTropesGlossary Wiki Magic]]. When the realization hit that moving it to Administrivia/ wasn't enough, it was renamed, with the original locations [[Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub salted]].[[/note]]
* Here lies Neocon Newscaster -- Laughed off the air for his {{pompous|PoliticalPundit}}ness.[[note]]Renamed to PompousPoliticalPundit for being both too specific and too general.[[/note]]
* Here lie Nerd Rage, Gannon-Banned, and Fandom Berserk Button -- The [[FandomEnragingMisconception fandom was pretty enraged by this]].[[note]]The old names led to misuse to mean ''anything'' that makes fans angry, leading to a lot of Administrivia/{{complaining|AboutShowsYouDontLike}}. The name was eventually changed to FandomEnragingMisconception to more specifically state that the negative reactions from fans of works are specifically toward objective mistakes regarding said works.[[/note]]
* Here lies Never Trust a Trope -- [[DoesntTrustThoseGuys Didn't trust those guys]], but died before it could realize that they were right.[[note]]A StockPhrase that used "trope" as a placeholder.[[/note]]
* Here lies Newton Einstein Surak -- Was killed in its laboratory by [[FamousFamousFictional two celebrities and one fictional character]].[[note]]Was confusing to people who didn't know who [[Franchise/StarTrek Surak]] was.[[/note]]
* Hier ruht Nietzsche Wannabe -- Gave no damn about anything, not even about being buried in {{straw|Nihilist}}. [[note]]Renamed to due attracting real Nietzsche wannabes, and since it was unclear whether Nietzsche was actually a nihilist. [[/note]]
* Here lies Ninja Butterfly -- Its eulogy had a long-winded [[ExpositionFairy exposition about its encounter with a fairy]].[[note]]Was mistaken for ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin by those who weren't familiar with ''VideoGame/RedNinjaEndOfHonor''.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Niles -- [[ReplacementFlatCharacter Replaced after being flattened]].[[note]]Was named after a relatively obscure character, which led to underuse.[[/note]]
* Here lies No Capes! -- [[CapeSnag Snagged by a jet turbine.]] [[note]]Old name was a reference from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''; renamed for clarity.[[/note]]
* Here lies No Exit -- Unable to escape its AwfulWeddedLife.[[note]][[Theatre/NoExit The play]] which the trope was named after had nothing to do with marriage specifically.[[/note]]
* Here lies No, Just... No -- Its cause of death was [[NoJustNoReaction too disgusting to print here.]][[note]]The old name was misused for tropers to [[Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike link things they personally did not like]].[[/note]]
* Here lies Non-Interactivity -- After its death, scam artists have {{fake|Interactivity}}d interacting with its ghosts.[[note]]The name was misleading.[[/note]]
* Here lies No Rest For The Wicked -- Its wickedness [[TheInsomniac kept it up all night]], but it found a permanent resting place.[[note]]Renamed due to misuse of a preexisting term. The old name was later turned into a disambiguation page.[[/note]]
* Here lie Notable Campaigns and Notable Advertising Campaigns -- Their {{ad|vertisements}}s and [[AdvertisingCampaigns campaigns]] weren't notable enough.[[note]]Administrivia/ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability.[[/note]]
* Here lies Not A Scratch On It -- Despite what the marketing claimed, this DamageProofVehicle had a lot of scratches on it.[[note]]Was too ambiguous and thus renamed.[[/note]]
* Here lies Not Good With People -- Abandoned its human friends to [[BetterWithNonHumanCompany be with its non-human ones.]][[note]]Was misused for any socially awkward character when the trope is about any character who gets along better with non-humans than humans.

* Here lies The Not-Secret -- EverybodyKnewAlready it was going to die.[[note]]Confused with OpenSecret.[[/note]]
* Here lies Not So Different -- Its killer resented that [[NotSoDifferentRemark remark]].[[note]]Was misused for any instance of drastically different characters having surprising similarities when it was about the hero discovering that they and the villain have more in common than they think. It was then renamed and redefined to any time the similarities between two characters, not just the hero and villain, are pointed out in-universe.[[/note]]
* Here lie Not So Fast and Midstrike Monologue -- Were caught {{inaction|Sequence}}.[[note]]The former name was not only confused for a StockPhrase, but was also confused with the unrelated trope Not So Fast, Bucko, which itself was renamed to YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle. It was renamed to Midstrike Monologue, but it was renamed again because the scene didn't necessarily have to include a monologue.[[/note]]
* Here lies Not Their Birthday -- Due to a [[CelebrationMiscalculation miscalculation]], its grave ended up being too shallow.[[note]]Since the definition was broadened to include special occasions other than birthdays (such as holidays or anniversaries), the original name ended up being too narrow for the revised definition.[[/note]]
* Here lies Not Using the Zed Word -- Beheaded after it came back to life as... [[NotUsingTheZWord one of those walking corpses]].[[note]]The old name was used due to the launcher not knowing that "zed" is how Commonwealth English speakers pronounce the letter Z (American English speakers pronounce it "zee"). The TropeNamer is ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'', a British film that has the title character tell others to not use "the 'Z' Word" when referring to zombies.[[/note]]
* Here lies "Not Very Pretty Now, Is He?" -- Was [[PastVictimShowcase showcased to the crowd after his death.]][[note]]Was mistaken for a StockPhrase.[[/note]]

* Here lies Nurse Jenny -- Someone {{inexplicably identical|Individuals}} to her killed her.[[note]]Was named after [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny]], but suffered Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Obi Wrong -- Its [[QuicklyDemotedLeader quick demotion]] and subsequent death prevented it from becoming a great leader.[[note]]A bad snowclone of the now-cut The Obi Wan.[[/note]]
* Here lies Obligatory War Crime Scene -- Banned by the [[UsefulNotes/TheLawsAndCustomsOfWar Geneva Conventions]].[[note]]Renamed after rampant misuse as [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs People Commit War Crimes]] when it really referred to the heroes committing war crimes to add moral ambiguity to a work, hence the new name WarCrimeSubvertsHeroism.[[/note]]
* Here lies Ocarina Playlist -- YouShouldntKnowThisAlready, but it's dead.[[note]]The old name required familiarity with ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'', and because of Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, a new name was made necessary.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Ogre -- {{Smash|Mook}}ed to death.[[note]]The old name seemed more like OurOgresAreHungrier, where it now redirects.[[/note]]
* Here lies Oh, Kitty -- Lost its nine lives after [[PrimalScene walking in on a sex scene.]][[note]]Was an obscure reference to ''Series/That70sShow''.[[/note]]
* Qui giace Olive Garden -- [[SpaghettiAndGondolas Spaghetti will be served while its ashes are thrown off a gondola]].[[note]]Renamed for being non-indicative, as well as confusing to those who weren't familiar with the restaurant it was named after, which is based in the United States and is unknown in other parts of the world.[[/note]]

* Here lies One-Handed is Cool -- Got [[FiringOneHanded fired at]].[[note]]Was sometimes mistaken for OneHandedZweihander.[[/note]]
* Here lies One Million B.C. -- It was made HollywoodPrehistory.[[note]]Trope was about the stereotypical inaccuracies of prehistory, but was misused for more realistic (but still inaccurate) portrayals of the time period. Thus, the trope was renamed while the old name was disambiguated.[[/note]]
* Here lies One-Season Wonder -- Fell down a well after the {{second season|Downfall}}.[[note]]Misused for shows canceled after one season and great characters who only appeared for one season.[[/note]]
* Here lies One-Sided Battle -- Was [[PendulumWar curb-stomped back-and-forth.]][[note]]Was mistaken for a singular CurbStompBattle, and the old name now redirects to that trope.[[/note]]

* Here lie Only Six Helmets -- Discarded after their owners decided to show their {{concealed|Customization}} faces.[[note]]An obtuse snowclone of OnlySixFaces that had little to do with that trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Oops, I Dropped The Keys -- [[DangerousKeyFumble Fell through the cracks and was never seen again.]][[note]]Was renamed to sound less like dialogue.[[/note]]
* Here lies Oral Fixation Fixation -- [[OralFixation Was way too fixated on what they were chewing.]][[note]]The extra "fixation" was redundant.[[/note]]
* Here lies Or Is It? -- Now it can finally rest in peace. [[TheEndOrIsIt Or can it?]][[note]]Was frequently potholed in tropers' conversations. After the rename, the original name was sent to the Permanent Red Link Club.[[/note]]
* Osananajimi ga koko ni nemuru -- She DidNotGetTheGuy because she was [[PatientChildhoodLoveInterest too patient with him.]][[note]]Was mistaken for a {{Japanese Media Trope|s}} and too hard to remember or spell.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Oscar -- Done in by its [[{{Manchild}} immaturity]].[[note]]Badly failed the OneMarioLimit and the [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment former trope namer]] wasn't even an example.[[/note]]
* Ici repose Oubliette -- Remodeled as a TailorMadePrison.[[note]]An oubliette is a big hole in the ground, which was thematically the exact opposite of the trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Our Goat People Are Different -- A prank pulled by FaunsAndSatyrs got its goat.[[note]]Renamed due to unclear use of the OurMonstersAreDifferent snowclone.[[/note]]
* Here lies Our Gods Are Greater -- Followers of other religions begged to [[OurGodsAreDifferent differ]].[[note]]While the "Our X Are Different" {{snowclone|s}} for trope names is an exception to Administrivia/EverythingsWorseWithSnowclones, variations on the naming scheme (such as, in this case, replacing "Different" with another adjective) are not allowed.[[/note]]
* Here lie Our Sirens Are Louder and Enthralling Siren -- Lured to their deaths by [[OurSirensAreDifferent differently enchanting sirens]].[[note]]The first name was confused for police sirens, while the second was mistaken for creatures other than sirens.[[/note]]

* Here lies ''Outer Limits'' Twist -- What a CruelTwistEnding![[note]]Was unclear if it referred to ''Series/TheOuterLimits1963'', or [[Series/TheOuterLimits1995 its remake]] since the latter didn't use the trope as often as the former.[[/note]]
* Here lies Over Nine Thousand -- Its PowerLevels made the [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale readings go off the scale.]][[note]]Named after the memetic quote in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' but was often used to refer to the meme itself. The former name used to redirect to PowerLevels, but it now redirects to ReadingsAreOffTheScale.[[/note]]
* Here lies Overprotective Dad -- Punched in the face after attempting to [[BoyfriendBlockingDad block his daughter's boyfriend]] from entering their home.[[note]]Meant to be about fathers objecting to the thoughts of their daughter getting a boyfriend, but was misused to refer to only general overprotectiveness. A rename was in order, while the old name is now a disambiguation page.[[/note]]
* Here lies Overwhelming Exception -- It died alone, [[EverythingExceptMostThings except for when it was with the other tropes in this graveyard]].[[note]]Renamed due to frequent misuse.[[/note]]
* Here lies Owl Be Damned -- The circumstances surrounding its death were pretty {{ominous|Owl}}.[[note]]An obtuse name that didn't specify ''which'' strigiforms the trope covered.[[/note]]
* Here lies Paintball Error -- After correcting the scores, they were disqualified from the PaintballEpisode.[[note]]Old name was too negative and attracted examples of how paintball was incorrectly portrayed in media instead of paintball in general.[[/note]]

* Here lies Parker Lewis Ferris Bueller -- Hunted down for a hustling incident in {{high school|Hustler}}.[[note]]The old name was unwieldy and required familiarity with [[Series/ParkerLewisCantLose two]] [[Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff different works]] to understand the meaning.[[/note]]
* Here lies Part of a Balanced Breakfast Stone Soup -- Never bothered eating the {{adjacent|ToThisCompleteBreakfast}} breakfast and died of malnutrition. [[note]]Unintuitive name prevented the trope from thriving.[[/note]]
* Here lies [=PBR&B=] -- It took the {{alternative|RAndB}} route.[[note]]Renamed because the music genre is more commonly known as Alternative R&B.[[/note]]
* Here lie Peek-a-Bangs -- [[HidingBehindYourBangs Hid from the bangs]], but still died in the explosion.[[note]][[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs Chairs that peek out from behind]], so it was renamed to focus on the partial hair bangs indicating shyness or mystery, while the old name was disambiguated.[[/note]]
* Here lies Perdita X Dream -- Her name wasn't {{awesome|McCoolName}} enough.[[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome since it was named after a character from ''Literature/{{Discworld}}''.[[/note]]

* Here lies The Pikachu Effect -- Wasn't chosen in the ThirdOptionAdaptation.[[note]]An obscure ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' reference to how Pikachu was the StarterMon in ''VideoGame/PokemonYellow'' instead of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' due to its popularity in [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries the anime.]][[/note]]
* Here lies Pinch Me -- Failed the DreamRealityCheck.[[note]]The expression was used for a variety of other situations besides checking if one is dreaming, leading to misuse.[[/note]]
* Pink Bishōjo Ghetto ga koko ni nemuru -- Was {{improbably|FemaleCast}} replaced by an all-female cast.[[note]]Not only was familiarity with the term {{Bishoujo}} required, but it also implied that it was a {{Japanese Media Trope|s}}, when it's not exclusive to Japanese works. It was also an obscure reference to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Ghetto "pink ghetto"]], which was opposite of the trope's definition.[[/note]]
* Here lies Pink is for Girls -- RealMenWearPink, but sometimes PinkIsForSissies.[[note]]Was interpreted as PinkMeansFeminine when it's more of "boys wearing pink are considered effeminate".[[/note]]
* Here lies Pitying Perversion -- Shown CondescendingCompassion before its death.[[note]]The old name mislead people into thinking the trope was about perversion.[[/note]]
* Here lies a Plague on Both Your Houses -- [[DyingCurse Died from the curse it cast on them.]][[note]]Renamed so it's clear it's about the curse.[[/note]]
* Here lies Plastic Surgery -- Got a new [[ProductFacelift facelift.]][[note]]Was misused for plastic surgery in general when it's for items instead of people.[[/note]]
* Here lies Playing Hamlet -- Was [[AgeLift lifted]] into heaven after choosing not to be.[[note]]Was named after the tendency for productions of ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' to hire middle-aged actors to play the teenaged title character when the play is famous for other reasons.

* Here lies Plot Sold Separately -- Watch this {{ad|vertisingOnlyContinuity}} to see what happens after its death![[note]]Renamed for being unintuitive.[[/note]]
* Here lies Plot Without Porn -- Did not [[PornWithPlot have enough porn in it.]][[note]]Was misleading as a vast number of plots don't have porn when the trope is about pornographic works with plots.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Poochie -- He was {{shoo|OutTheNewGuy}}ed out and died on the way back to his home planet.[[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome. Unclear name, with the most common definition of the term being somewhere between MascotWithAttitude and TheScrappy.[[/note]]
* Here lies Popsicle Splat -- Suffered a CryonicsFailure.[[note]]Was named after HumanPopsicle, but the trope had nothing to do with popsicles.[[/note]]
* Here lies Pop Station -- [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct It was too shoddy.]][[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome -- the former TropeNamer was a Platform/PlayStationPortable knockoff showcased in a WebVideo/StuartAshen video, but those unfamiliar with the video and/or the console did not get the reference.[[/note]]

* Here lies Porting Distillation -- Its gravestone is {{polished|Port}} regularly.[[note]]The old name was intended to be analogous with the name of AdaptationDistillation, but though that the naming was based on the latter being about the adaptations' ''quality'' rather than how they were done.[[/note]]
* Zdes' lezhit Potemkin Village -- Razed down because it was {{fake|Town}}.[[note]]The old name had political connotations that the trope doesn't have.[[/note]]
* Here lies Pound of Flesh Twist -- Its death rendered its [[MeaninglessVillainVictory victory meaningless]].[[note]]Renamed due to underuse.[[/note]]
* Here lie Pounds Are Doggy Prisons -- Euthanized at the [[PoundsAreAnimalPrisons animal prison.]][[note]]The pound doesn't necessarily have to be for dogs.[[/note]]
* Here lie Powerpuff Girl Hands -- [[FingerlessHands They lacked dexterity.]][[note]]You probably know the drill by now - Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, renamed for clarity.[[/note]]

* Here lies The Professor is Crying Again -- Utterly {{br|eakTheScientist}}oken after his discoveries were rejected by the scientific community.[[note]]An obtuse reference to ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' that was lost on most people and confused those who did, who thought it referred to a variety of characters who could be called TheProfessor.[[/note]]
* Here lies Professor X Likes to Watch Teenagers Sweat -- Was arrested in the [[DangerRoomColdOpen cold open]] for [[PaedoHunt his perversion.]][[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, was long and unwieldy, and the title could be mistaken for a perversion trope.[[/note]]

* Here lies Protectorate Player -- It has been [[ReverseEscortMission escorted to a better place]].[[note]]Underuse combined with an unclear name.[[/note]]
* Hier ruht Prussia and All That Lot -- Other European nations acknowledged that there was more to UsefulNotes/AllTheLittleGermanies than just Prussia.[[note]]Renamed for the sake of clarity and historical accuracy.[[/note]]
* Here lies Ptero Soarer - The K-Pg extinction ended its {{terror|Dactyl}}.[[note]]Was often used to complain about any kind of inaccuracy in pterosaur designs. Now only covers examples that portray pterosaurs as {{Prehistoric Monster}}s, with general inaccuracies covered by ArtisticLicensePaleontology or ScienceMarchesOn.[[/note]]

* Here lies Putting a Hand over His Mouth -- [[HandGagging Gagged.]]
* Here lies [=PvE=] -- [[PlayerVersusEnvironment The player lost against the environment.]][[note]]While [=PvE=] is the acronym for it like how [=PvP=] is for PlayerVersusPlayer, it was renamed for consistency.[[/note]]
* Here lies P-Wing Effect -- Its [[TooAwesomeToUse awesomeness]] [[TooCoolToLive cost it its life]].[[note]]Named after an item from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' that not everyone understood.[[/note]]
* Here lie Radioactive Teenage Samurai Robot Wombats and Secret Mutant Hero Team -- Killed by TeenageMutantSamuraiWombats, [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles TV Tropes' Most Fearsome Fighting Team]].[[note]]The former was too long, cumbersome, and hard to remember, but when it was renamed to the latter, it suffered underuse because it didn't catch on like the old name. It was then re-renamed so that the ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' reference is clearer.[[/note]]
* Here lies Random Teleportation -- [[TeleportationMisfire A miscalculation in the destination]] caused it to be teleported above a lava pool.[[note]]Was confused for RandomTransportation, which was about having no control of the destination instead of failing to teleport to the intended one.[[/note]]
* Here lies Rape as Redemption -- Its death is too graphic to [[RapePortrayedAsRedemption portray]] here.[[note]]The old name could be interpreted as supporting rape.[[/note]]
* Here lie "Rape is Okay/Funny If..." tropes -- Were killed by a murderer [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale incons]][[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale istent]] [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale with]] [[DoubleStandardRapeDivineOnMortal stan]][[DoubleStandardRapeSciFi dards]].[[note]]The names made it sound like we actually ''thought'' rape was ever okay, which gave us a bad rap.[[/note]]

* Here lies Record of Loudness War -- Audiophiles have given record companies a lot of [[{{Pun}} FLAC]] for participating in the LoudnessWar.[[note]]An unclear and [[FanMyopia myopic]] snowclone of ''Roleplay/RecordOfLodossWar'' that was replaced with a preexisting term for the phenomenon.[[/note]]

* Here lies The Red Snifit -- Went extinct due to being [[UniqueEnemy the only specimen of its breed]]. [[note]]Named after the sole red Snifit in the Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem version of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2''. It was renamed due to Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Red Sonja -- {{Best|HerToBedHer}}ed in bed so hard she went OutWithABang.[[note]]Suffered from Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, because [[Film/RedSonja the former trope namer]] was associated with other tropes as well.[[/note]]
* Here lies Red Wire Blue Wire -- It had NoTimeToThink before it was electrocuted by the wires.[[note]]Was misused for WireDilemma.[[/note]]
* Here lies Refuge in Vulgarity -- Overdosed on BrainBleach after seeing too much VulgarHumor.[[note]]Initially defined as "raunchy, lowbrow humor used to pander to easily-amused audiences", which invited complaining and Administrivia/{{zero context examples}}, so it was reworked as a more neutral trope about raunchy and/or offensive humor in general and renamed to match this new definition.[[/note]]
* Here lies Relationship Writing Fumble -- Was constantly teased for its alleged "{{platonic|WritingRomanticReading}} relationship".[[note]]Its unclear name led to people using it for any relationship that doesn't come off as intended by the writer instead of being specifically about platonic relationships that accidentally come off as romantic. The original name was then made into [[RelationshipWritingFumble an index]] for unintentional subtext.[[/note]]
* Here lies Relidutainment -- {{Religious|Edutainment}} leaders worldwide weren't educated or entertained by its teachings.[[note]]Unclear {{portmanteau}} of ReligiousEdutainment.[[/note]]

* Here lie Reverse Funny Aneurysm and Unfunny Aneurysm -- In hindsight, their deaths were seen as either too {{hilarious|InHindsight}} or {{harsh|erInHindsight}}. [[note]]The names were too similar to Funny Aneurysm Moment (which they were spun off from, and which itself was later merged into Harsher In Hindsight), which made it difficult to figure out which one was which.[[/note]]

* Here lies Rid Me Of This Priest -- Made a [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder blunder]] that did it in.[[note]]Was a reference to King Henry I that went over some tropers' heads and so they thought it was about priests. Those who ''did'' get the reference sometimes thought it had to involve murder.[[/note]]
* Here lies Riker Pose -- Bested by {{Captain Morgan|Pose}} in a duel.[[note]][[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration The original trope namer]] wasn't commonly associated with the pose in question, making the old name obtuse.[[/note]]

* Sasami Syndrome (and its successor, Better than Canon) ga koko ni nemuru -- Everyone who was a {{fan prefer|redCouple}}s their successor now.[[note]]Was renamed from Sasami Syndrome because it was advocating an opinion not everyone had, along with certain continuities making the TropeNamer [[{{Squick}} incestuous/pedophiliac]]. It was then renamed from Better than Canon due to people mistaking it for the current definition of SugarWiki/BetterThanCanon.[[/note]]
* Hier liegt Schrödinger Fu -- Was {{confus|ionFu}}ed about its death.[[note]]Was a reference to UsefulNotes/SchrodingersCat, but implied that it was about the fighter [[SelfDuplication splitting into multiple versions]] instead of being unpredictable.[[/note]]

* Here lies ''Seinfeld'' is Unfunny -- [[OnceOriginalNowCommon Once original, now just a statistic.]][[note]]Intended for works that were daring or innovative in their time but were copied and/or ripped off to the degree they seem unoriginal and hackneyed, it suffered from constant misuse and [[Administrivia/ZeroContextExample Zero-Context Examples]], indicating the difference between it and other tropes like CondemnedByHistory and UrExample was unclear. (Plus, there's the obvious fact that a lot of people ''still do'' think ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' is funny.) The original page is now a disambiguation.[[/note]]
* Here lies Sein Language -- It didn't [[TheCatchPhraseCatchesOn catch on]].[[note]]A needlessly opaque reference to how the idiolect of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' spread throughout the real world. It was also mistaken for SeinfeldianConversation.[[/note]]

* Here lie Shallow Female Love Interest and Shallow Love Interest -- Killed by a {{satellite|LoveInterest}} on a collision course with Earth.[[note]]The initial name gave the impression of the trope being AlwaysFemale, while the second name attracted misuse in the form of [[Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike complaining about love interests people didn't like]].[[/note]]
* Here lies Shamgri-La -- Demolished and replaced with a true [[TheShangriLa Shangri-La]].[[note]]Mistaken for fake Shangri-La stand-ins.[[/note]]
* Here lies She's Got Legs -- It turned out she did not really [[Music/ZZTop know how to use them]].[[note]]Attracted misuse for whenever someone has well-defined legs, instead of noting focus from others or the camera. The trope was renamed LegFocus for clarity.[[/note]]

* Here lies Shlubb and Klump English -- Suffered from {{delusions|OfEloquence}} that led to its death.[[note]]Named after two characters from ''ComicBook/SinCity'', but it suffered from Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome since not everyone got the reference and many who did associated it with other tropes.[[/note]]
* Here lies Shout-Out to Shakespeare -- Due to the local theater's demolition, the Bard's plays have to be shown [[ReferencedBy/WilliamShakespeare elsewhere]].[[note]]Administrivia/TheSameButMoreSpecific to ShoutOut. The relevant information was moved to a ReferencedBy page for Creator/WilliamShakespeare instead of being treated as a subtrope of ShoutOut.[[/note]]

* Here lies Soul Train -- Run over by a train; it's now on the AfterlifeExpress.[[note]]Shared its name with a [[Series/SoulTrain work]].[[/note]]
* Here lies Soup Cans -- Nobody could {{solve|TheSoupCans}} its medical problems.[[note]]Was renamed to make it clearer to those who didn't know the trope namer.[[/note]]
* Here lies So What Are You Saying? -- The [[RepeatingSoTheAudienceCanHear audience never heard]] its cries for help.[[note]]The old name sounded like a generic line of dialogue and didn't convey the trope's meaning.[[/note]]
* Here lies Soylent Green -- Replaced with a [[PoweredByAForsakenChild child as a better power source.]][[note]]Besides sharing a name with [[Film/SoylentGreen the work]], it was about paying a human cost to run something rather than cannibalism.[[/note]]
* Here lies Soylent Green Is People -- Eaten by [[ImAHumanitarian humanitarians.]][[note]]Despite being named after the plot twist of ''Film/SoylentGreen'', not everyone was familiar with it.[[/note]]
* Here lies Soylent Soy -- Got made into [[FutureFoodIsArtificial artificial food]].[[note]]The "soy" part was unnecessary, and the reference to ''Film/SoylentGreen'' made people think the trope had something to do with cannibalism.[[/note]]
* Here lies So You Want to Live Forever -- It never found the [[ImmortalitySeeker immortality it sought]].[[note]]The old name made it sound like a SoYouWantTo page.[[/note]]
* Here lies Spell My Name With an S -- It's {{inconsistent|Spelling}} whether it wanted the grave to say "Rest in Peace" or "Wrest inn Piece".[[note]]The trope was widely misused for fan misspellings rather than names being spelled differently at different times in the work itself, and had Administrivia/ZeroContextExample problems.[[/note]]
* Here lies Spikeification -- It suffered a great amount of BadassDecay.[[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome and debates whether Spike from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' was even an example led to it being renamed.[[/note]]
* Here lies Spirit Bomb -- Obliterated by a CombinedEnergyAttack.[[note]]Misused to mean "attack that aims at someone's spirit" or "attack made of spiritual energy" rather than an attack where everyone combines their {{Mana}} into a single attack. It also suffered from Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, being named after a ''Franchise/DragonBall'' attack that is known to have an ''inaccurate'' translation from the original Japanese name into English.[[/note]]
* Here lies Spoiled Brat Of The Lord -- His {{egocentri|callyReligious}}sm got him banned from church.[[note]]An overly narrow name that led to tropers associating "Lord" with the Abrahamic deity or not associating it with a deity at all, or thinking the trope was about a spoiled adherent of a religion.[[/note]]
* Here lies Spot of Tea -- The {{Brits|LoveTea}} love drinking it too much.[[note]]The trope was clearly meant to cover a British obsession with tea, but it's been misused to include just about anyone drinking tea.[[/note]]
* Here lies Squeaking Carpet -- Thrown out and ruined by a SwarmOfRats.[[note]]The connection from "squeaking" to rats was lost on a lot of people, leading to misuse.[[/note]]
* Here lies Staff Chick -- Not even WhiteMagicianGirl could bring her back to life.
* Here lies Stalling for Time -- After a long {{search|ingTheStalls}}, it was found dead in a bathroom stall.[[note]]Was misused for characters literally stalling for time.[[/note]]
* Here lie Standard Status Effects -- The problem affecting the StatusEffects is that they were sometimes non-standard.[[note]]Standard Status Effects was broadened by removing the "Standard" aspect and renaming accordingly.[[/note]]
* Here lies Starfish Character -- Was [[LiteralSplitPersonality literally split]] in two.[[note]]Obscure reference to ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}''.[[/note]]
* Here lies Star System -- Hydrogen is not {{reus|edCharacterDesign}}able, so the star died.[[note]]Easily confused with literal star systems, such as the real-life [[UsefulNotes/TheSolarSystem solar system]] or the similarly named star systems in filmmaking. The old name was turned into a disambiguation page.[[/note]]
* Here lies Step Three: Profit! -- Since the people who handled its funeral {{miss|ingStepsPlan}}ed some steps, its burial wasn't handled well.[[note]]Ambiguous [[Memes/SouthPark meme-based]] title; renamed because Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome resulted in an unclear name.[[/note]]
* Here lies Still the '80s -- After 2010 came, it was more than TwoDecadesBehind.[[note]]The intended definition was the same before the name change, but since Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotRecent, the name was already dated when 2010 rolled around.[[/note]]
* Here lie Stock Superpowers -- Died after being tricked into shaking hands with a supervillain with a poisonous [[StockSuperpowersIndex index]] finger.[[note]]Renamed to indicate that it's an index and not a trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Straw Traitor -- [[CategoryTraitor Uncategorized.]][[note]]Old name was too vague.[[/note]]
* Here lie Subjective Tropes and YMMV -- When the gas station employees got off work, they thought about what is and is Administrivia/NotATrope, then issues with property values forced them to find a new YMMV/{{home|Page}} entirely.[[note]]Subjective items were moved from Subjective Tropes to YMMV due to proper {{trope}}s' objective aspects meaning subjective items are [[Administrivia/NotATrope not tropes]]. After that, wicks to YMMV were misused in sinkholes for violations of Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotArguable, leading to a move to YMMV.HomePage, due to non-Main namespaces being difficult to sinkhole.[[/note]]
* Here lies Substitute Teacher -- Resigned after being constantly {{teas|ingTheSubstituteTeacher}}ed by their students and was replaced with a TemporarySubstitute.[[note]]Was mistaken for a trope about substitute teachers when it's about a new character being hastily written in because the old character's actor was unavailable.[[/note]]
* Here lies Sudden Death -- Died suddenly during the TiebreakerRound.[[note]]Was expanded to include tiebreaker rounds in general besides sudden death rounds.[[/note]]
* Here lies Summers Family Tree -- {{Tangled|FamilyTree}} up in an incestuous mess.[[note]]Named after the ''Franchise/XMen'' character better known as Cyclops, and while he did fit the example, the trope name ended up being confused with [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy Summer]].[[/note]]
* Here lies Super Grape -- Its failure to {{ascend|edExtra}} the ranks was heard on the grapevine.[[note]]The idea behind the old name was that extras don't stand out any more than a single grape in a bunch, so a "Super Grape" was one that stood out. The name was changed to AscendedExtra to make the name more self-explanatory.[[/note]]
* Here lies Super OCD -- Its funeral was [[ObsessivelyOrganized meticulously organized.]][[note]]Was supposed to mean any stereotypical depiction of OCD, but its unclear and potentially offensive name led to it being misused for overly neat and order-obsessed characters or any character with OCD.[[/note]]
* Here lies Super Punk Octo Pudding Gas Mark Seven -- The {{word salad|Title}} went bad after being left out for too long.[[note]]Renamed because the old name was difficult to remember due to being [[SelfDemonstratingArticle self-demonstrating]].[[/note]]
* Here lies Super Slave Market -- Had its {{soul suck|ingRetailJob}}ed out of it.[[note]]The old name made it sound like something to do with slave markets or superpowers.[[/note]]
* Here lies Super Star -- Fell into a BottomlessPit despite its {{invincibility|PowerUp}}.[[note]]Named after the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' power-up, but its name could also mean "anyone who is famous".[[/note]]
* Here lies Sure, Why Not? -- Because it {{ascended|Fanon}} to heaven, that's why not.[[note]]Sounded like a stock phrase and too similar to SureLetsGoWithThat.[[/note]]
* Here lies Surname First Name Surname -- [[TheNameIsBondJamesBond James Bond]] had a license, so he killed it.[[note]]The old name was clunky since the opposite of a surname is a "forename", while the opposite of a first name is a "last name".[[/note]]
* Here lies Sweater Girl -- Her sweater wasn't {{sexy|SweaterGirl}} enough.[[note]]Was misused for [[Administrivia/PeopleSitonChairs any girl in a sweater]] instead of girls wearing sweaters as {{Fanservice}}.[[/note]]
* Ici repose/Hier ruht/Qui giace Swiss Moment -- It's too {{late|ToThePunchline}} for this one -- falling into a vat of molten chocolate caused it to go from Bernese to burn-ee.[[note]]Unclear name due to referencing a stereotype about Swiss people being slow to realize a joke's meaning, which is more obscure than their strong association with neutrality or products made in the country.[[/note]]
* Here lie Sword Chucks -- Were [[{{Pun}} chucked]] out in favor of {{instant|Chucks}} ones.[[note]]Was an ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'' reference, which was about MixAndMatchWeapons composed of only two weapons, but was retooled to be about improvised nunchucks.[[/note]]
* Here lies Sword in the Stone -- Stabbed with a sword [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield wielded by the chosen]].[[note]]Was misused for swords in stones or Myth/KingArthur references.[[/note]]
* Takahashi Couple, Tsunderes in Love, to When a Jerk Loves a Tsundere ga koko ni nemuru -- All three died in an especially {{belligerent|SexualTension}} battle.[[note]]The initial name fell afoul of Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome and was mistaken to refer to Takahashis other than [[Creator/RumikoTakahashi Rumiko]], while the initial rename implied that both parties were {{Tsundere}}s, and the final rename came to express the definition more broadly.[[/note]]
* Here lies Take a Bite Out of Crime -- Died of rabies contracted by a [[ManBitesMan man who bit him.]][[note]]Was confused for a trope about crimefighting, and it didn't make it clear on who was the one doing the biting.[[/note]]
* Here lies Take Off Every Zig -- Shot down by {{fighter|LaunchingSequence}}s.[[note]]The old name required familiarity with a ''VideoGame/ZeroWing'' meme.[[/note]]
* Here lies Take This -- ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest... or maybe not.[[note]]An old StockPhrase that meant something diferent.[[/note]]
* Here lies Take That, Us! -- [[DarthWiki/TVTropesRuinedYourLife We wasted so much time choosing page names instead of living our lives]], and yet this one [[SelfDeprecation had to be deprecated]].
* Here lies Talking Typography -- {{Anthropomorphic|Typography}} letters spell out its grave.[[note]]Wasn't thriving and was cut and relaunched with a broader title.[[/note]]
* Here lies Team Rocket -- This TerribleTrio [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries is blasting off again!]][[note]]Not everyone knew the reference, and they weren't really an example because they were better known as a GoldfishPoopGang.[[/note]]
* Here lie Teens Are Short -- Couldn't grow as [[ShortTeensTallAdults tall as their parents.]][[note]]Was misused for any teen who's shorter than the rest of the cast instead of works portraying teens in general as unrealistically shorter than adults.[[/note]]
* Here lie Teleporters and Transporters -- {{Teleport|ation}}ed themselves out of existence.[[note]]Was broadened to cover non-technological means of teleportation such as magic and [[NegativeSpaceWedgie natural phenomena.]][[/note]]
* Here lies Ten with a Two -- [[BeerGoggles Hit on the reaper while drunk]].[[note]]Failed to attract wicks due to an unclear name, which was unnecessary since "BeerGoggles" is already the common off-site term for the trope.[[/note]]
* Here lie The Telltale Drapes -- Their death by being destroyed by a cat was {{imminent|DangerClue}}.[[note]]Was cut and sent back to TLP twice before being launched with a clearer name.[[/note]]
* Here lies Test of Character -- Failed the PlayerPersonalityQuiz.[[note]]Was mistaken for character tests in general and also the unrelated SecretTestOfCharacter trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies T.G.I.O'Chili Bees -- The restaurant closed when [[KitschyThemedRestaurant another one]] opened in the area.[[note]]Suffered from a lack of wicks thanks to a title that was deemed a confusing amalgamation of chain restaurant names. Renamed to be clearer and help the trope perform better.[[/note]]
* Here lies Thanksgiving Day -- Was stuffed in preparation for the ThanksgivingEpisode.[[note]]Was mistaken for the UsefulNotes article about [[UsefulNotes/{{Thanksgiving}} the holiday itself.]][[/note]]
* Here lies That One Guy -- Pwned by ThatOnePlayer.[[note]]Was mistaken for TheOneGuy, which is about the sole male in a predominantly female cast.[[/note]]
* Here lies There Is No God -- Committed suicide after [[EvilStoleMyFaith evil stole its faith]].[[note]]A StockPhrase that was mistaken for other tropes about atheism and religion.[[/note]]
* Here lies There's No "B" in "Movie" -- Not even the [[UnabashedBMovieFan fans]] could save it.[[note]]Was used for B movies in general instead of their fans.[[/note]]
* Here lies There Will be Cake -- Alas, TheCakeIsALie.[[note]]Was misused for any situation with cake.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Thing -- We needed to [[TalkAboutThatThing talk about it somewhere else.]][[note]]Named after an episode in ''Series/FamilyTies'' where they referred to the sensitive topic that prompted a RoomShuffle as "the thing". However, [[Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome it was often confused for other characters/works named "The Thing".]][[/note]]
* Here lies They Just Didn't Care -- [[CreatorsApathy We didn't care enough to keep it.]][[note]]Debate over the use for excessive complaining revealed it was practically impossible to distinguish genuine lack of care from [[HanlonsRazor honest ignorance]] or [[MisBlamed outside factors]], so it was redefined to require WordOfGod that they didn't care. It was renamed after the misuse persisted.[[/note]]
* Here lies They Killed Kenny -- [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Oh my god]], [[TheyKilledKennyAgain they killed him again!]] You bastards![[note]]While the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' reference was kept, it was renamed to clarify that a character's multiple deaths is a RunningGag.[[/note]]
* Here lies They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste -- It wasted away, just as we {{intended|AudienceReaction}} it to.[[note]]Unclear snowclone of TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot.[[/note]]
* Here lies Third Law of Travel -- {{Choke|pointGeography}}d to death on an exotic meal while traveling.[[note]]Unclear reference to ''Website/TheGrandListOfConsoleRolePlayingGameCliches''.[[/note]]
* Here lies Thirteen Going on Thirty -- Died of old age {{overnight|AgeUp}}.[[note]]Shared its name with a [[Film/ThirteenGoingOnThirty work]].[[/note]]
* Here lies Thirty-Five Minutes Ago -- People were [[YouAreTooLate too late]] to save it.[[note]]It was a very opaque ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' reference, and a spoiler to boot.[[/note]]
* Here lies This Index Is Full Of Perverts -- Their demise might teach people a few things [[TropesAboutPerverts about perversions]].[[note]]The "This Index is X" naming scheme was deprecated.[[/note]]
* Here lies This Is a Sentence, Bitch! -- [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch It needed more emphasis, bitch!]][[note]]Was renamed to be less awkward and to clarify that the "bitch" was for emphasis, not integral to the statement.[[/note]]
* Here lies This Is Not El Alamein -- Its murder was carried out the [[DoWrongRight wrong]] way.[[note]]An oblique reference to a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII battle that was lost even on those who understood the event.[[/note]]
* Here lie This Is Pest Control and its successor, No Except Yes -- [[DistinctionWithoutADifference They're not dead, they're just put to rest for all eternity]].[[note]]This Is Pest Control was renamed No Except Yes since the original ''Series/DoctorWho'' quote [[FanMyopia made no sense to non-fans]], which itself was renamed due to being confused with ByNoIMeanYes.[[/note]]
* Gino touna diáffo This Is SPARTA! -- We must {{punctuate|dForEmphasis}}. This. For. Emphasis.[[note]]Meme-based Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome.[[/note]]
* Here lies This Trope is [BLEEP] -- {{Censored|ForComedy}}.[[note]]Was mistaken for SoundEffectBleep or related tropes.[[/note]]
* Here lies This Troper -- '''I''' killed him... but I wasn't the Administrivia/{{first person|Writing}} to try. [[note]]This is a wiki, not a forum or blog. As such, first-person writing is ''verboten'', and euphemisms that sound like third person just make it easier to sweep under the rug. It has now been turned into an Administrivia page concerning Administrivia/FirstPersonWriting.[[/note]]
* Here lies This Trope Will Change Your Life -- It won't, but {{this product will|ChangeYourLife}}.[[note]]Renamed because it used "trope" as a placeholder and also to emphasize that it's an AdvertisingTrope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Thundraphobia -- We {{fear|OfThunder}} that it got hit by lightning in a thunderstorm.[[note]]"Thundraphobia" is not an actual word. The actual word describing the fear of thunder is either "brontophobia" or "astraphobia."[[/note]]
* Here lies Tickertape Parade -- Buried in {{confetti|Drop}}.[[note]]Wasn't about parades, so it was renamed while [[TickertapeParade the old name]] became ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.[[/note]]
* Here lies Tin Can You Hear Me Now -- Nope, can't hear you through this TinCanTelephone.[[note]]Overcomplicated snowclone of the former trope name "Can You Hear Me Now?", which has since been split into SuperCellReception and CellPhonesAreUseless.[[/note]]
* Hier ruht The Toblerone -- Melted after a BoisterousBruiser accidentally left it out in the sun.[[note]]The original TropeNamer was an obscure FanNickname for a character who appeared in a ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' movie, so the name ended up being unclear to people who didn't get the reference and only knew about the Swiss chocolate bar, which itself inspired [[SugarWiki/{{Toblerone}} a Sugar Wiki page]] and [[DarthWiki/{{Toblerone}} a Darth Wiki page]].[[/note]]
* Here lies Token Deity -- Given a DivineRaceLift when they ascended into the heavens.[[note]]The trope wasn't necessarily about {{Token|Index}}s.[[/note]]
* Here lies Token Loli -- Killed by a [[TokenMiniMoe miniature]] version of [[Series/{{Dateline}} Chris Hansen]].[[note]]Renamed and sent to the Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub due to having a name that's both creepy and unclear.[[/note]]
* Here lies Token Shipping -- [[ShipSinking Sunk]] by the TokenMinorityCouple.[[note]]Was about canon couples in the minority instead of fans shipping minorities.[[/note]]
* Here lies "Tom? Dick?" "My Name is Harry!" -- He died [[RapidFireNameGuessing rapidly in a fire]].[[note]]The old name was a stock phrase.[[/note]]
* Here lies Too Soon -- Keep your {{distance|dFromCurrentEvents}} from this one, because it's too soon to confirm that it won't come back as a zombie.[[note]]Often confused with DudeNotFunny, which is what the phrase "too soon" usually refers to in contexts other than TV Tropes. It was renamed as a result, with the old name being turned into a disambiguation between the new name and DudeNotFunny.[[/note]]
* Here lies Top Gunned -- Failed to DodgeByBraking.[[note]]''Film/TopGun'', the former TropeNamer, was more known for many other things besides that particular evasive aerial technique.[[/note]]
* Here lies Tortured Abomination -- [[TorturedMonster Tortured for its monstrosity.]][[note]]Was broadened beyond {{Eldritch Abomination}}s being tortured.[[/note]]
* Here lies Toy Ship -- Sunk by {{pupp|yLove}}ies.[[note]]Renamed to be more objective and less prone to confusion with maritime shipping, and the old name was made into a FanSpeak Definition-Only page.[[/note]]
* Here lies Tragic Funeral -- Its funeral was very {{lonely|Funeral}}.[[note]]Renamed for clarity's sake.[[/note]]
* Ici repose Trahison des Clercs -- Lacked [[IntellectuallySupportedTyranny support from the tyranny.]][[note]]Its GratuitousFrench was hard to understand.[[/note]]
* Here lies Trainwreck Episode -- Casualty of a {{big disaster|Plot}}.[[note]]The trope was broader than the name implied, leading to underuse, and the "trainwreck" part was sometimes taken figuratively, leading to misuse. It was renamed to BigDisasterPlot to make its definition more clear.[[/note]]
* Here lie Trans Gender Tropes -- Were [[GenderBlendingTropes blended]] up.[[note]]The old name sounded like it the tropes had to do with being transgender, when that wasn't the case for all of them. TransgenderTropes was then created as an index covering the former after Transgender was made into a Useful Note since the original trope was used to [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs list every character who was trans, which was trans chairs]].[[/note]]
* Here lies Transsexual -- During its [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} gender transition]], it chose a new name.[[note]]The old name was an outdated term for transgender folks, and community consensus agreed to rename it to the more widely-accepted term for the community.[[/note]]
* Here lies Trial of Someone Besides the Defendant -- Fooled by their {{decoy|Trial}}.[[note]]The original name was a mouthful.[[/note]]
* Zdes' lezhit Tricolours with Rusting Rockets -- Annihilated by the [[UsefulNotes/RussiansWithRustingRockets Russians]] in the Cold War.[[note]]Renamed to distinguish from other tricolor flags (e.g., the French flag).[[/note]]
* Here lies Trope 2000 -- TechnologyMarchesOn, so AdvancedTech2000 replaced it in the [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture far-off year]] of 2020.[[note]]Deprecated naming scheme (the use of "trope" as a placeholder), per Administrivia/NamingATrope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Trope the Light Fantastic -- We're [[DancingTropes dancing]] on this grave. [[note]]Original index name had nothing to do with dancing.[[/note]]
* Here lies Tropemobile -- Decommissioned in favor of a {{Thememobile}}.[[note]]Using "trope" as a placeholder deprecated.[[/note]]
* Here lies Trope-o-matic -- Replaced with a ThingOMatic.[[note]]Deprecated naming scheme (using "trope" as a placeholder).[[/note]]
* Here lies Troper Force -- Killed by TheSomethingForce.[[note]]Was using "troper" as a placeholder, as opposed to a user on this site.[[/note]]
* Here lie Tropes for Dummies -- Years of {{parodies|ForDummies}} did them in.[[note]]Use of "trope" as a placeholder in trope names is deprecated, leading to an unclear name, per the Administrivia/NamingATrope policy.[[/note]]
* Zdes' lezhit Trope, Son of Trope, Smith -- [[UsefulNotes/RussianNamingConvention Changed his name to sound Russian]].[[note]]Used "trope" as a placeholder, which led to a rename for clarity.[[/note]]
* Here lies Troubling Unchildhood Behavior -- Punished for its {{troubling unchildlike|behavior}} grammar.[[note]]Renamed for grammatical clarity.[[/note]]
* Ici reposent Truffaut Was Right et Pink Lipstick Aesop -- Despite the warnings, they died [[DoNotDoThisCoolThing doing that cool thing.]][[note]]The former was named after Creator/FrancoisTruffaut while the latter was named after a scene in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', but both references flew over people's heads.[[/note]]
* Here lies Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty -- [[ThisIndexFightsDirty Its clock was cleaned]].[[note]]Was an ''index'' for dirty fighting-related tropes and thus Administrivia/NotATrope, but it was still misused as a trope for dirty fighting, which is already covered by CombatPragmatist.[[/note]]
* Here lies Turn to Stone -- Its gravestone is made of [[TakenForGranite granite]].[[note]]It was originally named after an Music/ElectricLightOrchestra song, but has since been renamed due to Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome.[[/note]]
* Here lie Twelve Angry Men -- They were all killed by a RogueJuror.[[note]]Shared its name with [[Film/TwelveAngryMen a movie]].[[/note]]
* Here lie Twenty Minutes with Jerks -- They needed the {{develop|ingDoomedCharacters}}ment that arrived in the 21st.[[note]]Old name was too negative.[[/note]]
* Here lies Twilight Zone Twist -- What a KarmicTwistEnding!
* Here lies Two Words: Obvious Trope -- {{T|woWordsAddedEmphasis}}hree words: lack of emphasis.[[note]]Five words: It was a Administrivia/PotholeMagnet.[[/note]]
* Uchiha Syndrome ga koko ni nemuru -- Its screentime ended up being taken over by our local SpotlightStealingSquad.[[note]]Suffered from Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome outside of the ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' fandom.[[/note]]
* Here lies Ultimate Evil -- Its demise was {{unseen|Evil}}.[[note]]The old name was vague and could refer to several things; characters that are evil incarnate, the overarching villain in a work, a villain above the BigBad, or the final villain in a work, which led to it being disambiguated between these things. The new name makes it clear that it's an evil that the audience never sees the face or shape of.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Umbridge -- [[TyrantTakesTheHelm She was overthrown by a tyrant-to-be]].[[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome which was a spoiler to the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series.[[/note]]
* Here lies Uncle Herbie -- Involved in [[EndOfEpisodeSilliness silliness]] at the end of his life.[[note]]Named after a RunningGag on ''Series/WelcomeBackKotter'' that not everyone understood.[[/note]]
* Here lies Uncle Ned -- Retired after his [[LongLostUncleAesop Aesop]] served its purpose.[[note]]Was named after a character in ''Series/FamilyTies'', the connection to whom was lost on a lot of people, and even many who got the reference mistook it for RememberTheNewGuy.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Unexpected -- Its murder was out of [[UnexpectedCharacter character]].[[note]]Misused to refer to anything unexpected.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer -- Got used to the afterlife LikeADuckTakesToWater.[[note]]An unclear name that led to people mistaking the trope for being specifically about lawyers (and occasionally confusing it for SimpleCountryLawyer). In the process of the rename, the poorly defined trope Like A Fish Takes To Water was merged with it.[[/note]]
* Here lie The Unfunny and Unfunny-- Their funeral was surprisingly [[TheComicallySerious comical]].[[note]]Unclear names. Renamed to TheComicallySerious to better indicate its meaning.[[/note]]
* Here lies Unfunny Aneurysm -- Died of an aneurysm that made people's prior death threats to it HarsherInHindsight.[[note]]Was renamed to avoid confusion between it and Funny Aneurysm Moment.[[/note]]
* Here lies Unmentionable BSOD -- Was buried [[NakedFreakOut naked, and everyone freaked out.]][[note]]The old name made it seem like it had to do with HeroicBSOD.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Usual Suspects Ending -- This epitaph can't explain its backstory well enough, but TheEndingChangesEverything.[[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, particularly because explaining the name to non-fans would involve spoiling the TropeNamer (''Film/TheUsualSuspects'').[[/note]]
* Here lies Vampire Invitation -- Kicked out for coming [[MustBeInvited uninvited]].[[note]]Renamed to clarify the concept applies to other monsters and supernatural beings as well.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Vanna -- Fired for not meeting her employer's standards of {{lovel|yAssistant}}iness.[[note]]Named after the female host of ''Series/WheelOfFortune'', but it suffered from Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome and the definition was broadened to cover media beyond game shows.[[/note]]
* Here lies Vasor Gambit -- Was a [[TroubleMagnetGambit magnet for trouble]] and died in an accident.[[note]]The old name was a very obscure ''Series/DoctorWho'' snowclone.[[/note]]
* Here lies Victory Gloating -- Disqualified for [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating poor sportsmanship]].[[note]]The old name led to misuse for gloating unrelated to competitions.[[/note]]
* Here lies Viewer Myopia -- Wasn't [[AudienceAwarenessAdvantage aware of its audience enough.]][[note]]Was renamed so it's clear that it's the ''creators'' who are being myopic, not the viewers.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Village -- Destroyed under {{uncanny|Village}} circumstances.[[note]]Renamed to avoid confusion with works named ''The Village'' and to specify the kind of setting.[[/note]]
* Here lies Villain of the Week -- It wasn't {{monst|erOfTheWeek}}rous enough.
* Here lies Villainous Aromantic Asexual -- There was NoLoveForTheWicked.[[note]]Was broadened so that the villain doesn't have to be explicitly within the a-spectrum as long as their villainy is defined by their inability to love. This also includes villains who are primarily defined by their lust. Additionally, the aspect where the villain is seen as freakish for their lovelessness tended to be ignored.[[/note]]
* Here lies Villainous Crossdresser -- Its clothes were too {{creepy|Crossdresser}}.[[note]]Was too narrow because {{Creepy Crossdresser}}s aren't necessarily villains.[[/note]]
* Here lies Villain Who Doesn't Do Anything -- He did something, but it was [[PlotIrrelevantVillain irrelevant]] to his cause of death.[[note]]Snowclone of ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything which didn't describe the trope well.[[/note]]
* Aquí yace Viva la Evolution -- It wasn't [[AdaptiveAbility able to adapt]] to living in UsefulNotes/LasVegas.[[note]]The title was too non-indicative.[[/note]]
* Zdes' lezhit The Vodka Is Good, but the Meat Is Rotten -- Its final words were a request for EitherWorldDominationOrSomethingAboutBananas. To this day, it's unclear which one it asked for.[[note]]Unclear name that didn't indicate that it's a comedy trope -- the former TropeNamer was an UrbanLegend about a non-comedic RecursiveTranslation between English and Russian involving the phrase "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."[[/note]]
* Here lies [=VoldeMart=] -- His [[PredatoryBusiness business]] was shut down by the [[Literature/HarryPotter Order of the Phoenix.]][[note]]Was an obtuse and irrelevant pun about the BigBad of ''Literature/HarryPotter'' that had nothing to do with the trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Vorpal Weakness -- [[DecapitationRequired Beheading it was the only way to kill it.]][[note]]Was named after the Vorpal Blade's ability to instantly decapitate enemies, but wasn't familiar for those who don't play ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''.[[/note]]
* Here lies Wafer Thin Mint -- A [[TheLastStraw straw]] broke its back, but unlike the camel, this one didn't survive.[[note]]The old name was a reference to ''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife'' that was too obscure for most users.[[/note]]
* Here lies Walking Backwards -- It found itself in a [[BackingIntoDanger dangerous]] situation.[[note]]Misused to refer to any instance of walking backward, which overlapped with BackingAwaySlowly. Renamed for clarity's sake.[[/note]]
* Here lies Walk It Off -- Couldn't [[RegeneratingHealth regenerate its health]] on time.[[note]]The old name was too unintuitive.[[/note]]
* Here lies Walk Over Here for Options -- Walk over ''there'' for the PlayableMenu.[[note]]Renamed for better clarity.[[/note]]
* Here lies Wallmaster -- Its {{ambushing|Enemy}} days were over after it was cut down with the [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Master Sword]].[[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome. Better renamed to indicate that it's about enemies that don't attack until the player draws near.[[/note]]
* Here lie Warped Aesop and Family-Unfriendly Aesop -- Aesop was faced with a {{hard truth|Aesop}}: [[Literature/AesopsFables His fables]] may live on, but his own death and the deaths of these two were inevitable.[[note]]The initial name sounded too negative, while the inital rename led to misuse to Administrivia/{{complain|ingAboutShowsYouDontLike}} about {{A|nAesop}}esops tropers don't like, regardless of whether they fit the actual definition. [[/note]]
* Here lies Warring Without Weapons -- It [[NoGearLevel didn't have the gear]] to fight back against its killer.[[note]]Was underused, and the few links it had were usually confusing it with GoodOldFisticuffs.[[/note]]
* Here lies Wasted Song -- [[LongSongShortScene An epic song that lasts too short to be of any use]].[[note]]Misused to gush about songs that people thought deserved more screen time and complain about said lack of screen time, instead of documenting songs that are objectively longer than their screen time.[[/note]]
* Here lies Waste of Time Story -- You're better off [[PlayTheGameSkipTheStory playing the game.]][[note]]Was renamed to be less negative.[[/note]]
* Here lies Wax On, Wax Scream -- Its death was {{painful|BodyWaxing}}.[[note]]Was named after a meme from ''Film/TheKarateKid'', which had nothing to do with body waxing.[[/note]]
* Here lies We All Live in America -- It couldn't [[CreatorsCultureCarryover carry its culture over]] when it moved to Europe.[[note]]An unclear title lead to tropers using it to nitpick minor mistakes and focus too much on American culture specifically.[[/note]]
* Here lies We Are Not Wikipedia -- People said ThereShouldBeALaw against its existence, so [[DarthWiki/TropersLaw a law]] was passed.[[note]]Misused to bash Website/{{Wikipedia}}, as well as frequently confused with Administrivia/ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability.[[/note]]
* Here lies Weaponized Blood -- Was murdered, and it was very [[BloodyMurder bloody]]. [[note]]Trope was renamed to make it more obvious that blood in this case was indeed deadly.[[/note]]
* Here lies Weekend at Bernie's -- Is now a [[OfCorpseHesAlive corpse]].[[note]]Was named after a [[Film/WeekendAtBernies work]].[[/note]]
* Here lies We Have Been Researching Phlebotinum For Years -- [[ExpositingTheMasquerade The masquerade that researched it got exposed]] and it all went downhill.[[note]]Underused trope with a long-winded name; renamed to be more concise[[/note]]
* Here lies "Weird Al" Effect -- When asked if he would play music at its funeral, Music/WeirdAlYankovic agreed to perform a polka {{parody|Displacement}} of "Amazing Grace" using redone lyrics.[[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome made it unclear that it was specifically about parodies becoming more well known than the original, as is the case with several of Music/WeirdAlYankovic's parodies of hit songs.[[/note]]
* Here lies Welcome to Marklar -- The Marklars were invaded by [[PlanetOfSteves the Steves]].[[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, plus the TropeNamer (the Marklars from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'') are also associated with {{Smurfing}} due to their use of "Marklar" in place of ''all'' nouns instead of just their names.[[/note]]
* Here lies Welcome to the Liberator -- [[ConvenientReplacementCharacter Conveniently replaced]] after its death.[[note]]An obscure reference to ''Series/Blakes7'' that even flew over the fans' heads.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Wesley -- The good news is the creator found a new [[CreatorsPet pet]]. Unfortunately, a lot of people still hate him.
* Here lies We Could Have Avoided All This -- We {{could have avoided this|Plot}} death if it weren't for its misuse.[[note]]Gratuitous StockPhrase.[[/note]]
* Here lies We Will Use Micros in the Future -- Discontinued for its [[OurGraphicsWillSuckInTheFuture bad graphics]].[[note]]The old name was unclear what "micros" meant.[[/note]]
* Here lies What A World, What A World -- It [[ImMelting melted]].[[note]]Both names are from the same quote, but the current name contains the more clear section.[[/note]]
* Here lies What Do You Mean, It's Not Awesome? -- Its [[MundaneMadeAwesome mundane death was awesome, anyway.]][[note]]WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAnIndex snowclone, so it was renamed.[[/note]]
* Here lies What Do You Mean, It's Not Horrific? -- Its killer [[FauxHorrific was bad at being horrific]] but did the job anyway.[[note]]Renamed to take it off WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAnIndex.[[/note]]
* Here lies What Measure is a Non-Badass? -- Failed to measure up [[NotBadassEnoughForFans to fans' badassery expectations]].[[note]]Renamed after attracting complaining regarding one's general weakness.[[/note]]
* Here lies What Measure is a Non-Unique? -- Deemed not [[UniquenessValue valuable]] enough to live.[[note]]An awkwardly named member of the WhatMeasureIsAnIndex that didn't align with the rest of its tropes.[[/note]]
* Here lies What's a Secret Four? -- Was so {{cryptic|BackgroundReference}}, nobody was able to decipher it.[[note]]A (fittingly) obscure reference to ''Literature/TheThreeInvestigators'' that was mistaken for a {{Henway}}.[[/note]]
* Here lies What the Hell, Townspeople? -- [[UngratefulTownsfolk They were ungrateful]] for it.
* Here lies What Was Whose Sled? -- What part of [[Film/CitizenKane "Rosebud was his sled"]] did you [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure not get?]][[note]]A snowclone of ItWasHisSled that made tropers think it was more about {{Twist Ending}}s than about PopCulturalOsmosis.[[/note]]
* Here lies What Were We Fighting For? -- Its happy end was cruelly [[HappyEndingOverride overridden]].[[note]]Misused for any unclear goal. The old name was revived as a redirect to WasItReallyWorthIt[[/note]]
* Here lieth Whedon'th Thyndrome -- Wath bitten to death by a creature with {{fang|Thpeak}}th.[[note]]Named after Creator/JossWhedon, who didn't have anything to do with the trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Where Are They Now? -- Their life stories have reached an [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue epilogue]].
* Here lies Where Did They Get Lasers? -- Shot with some not-so-FamilyFriendlyFirearms.[[note]]The old name was too specific since the trope isn't just about lasers.[[/note]]
* Here lies Where's Deado? -- Is now the [[SpotTheVictim victim]] of a murder.[[note]]It had an unclear name that failed to attract wicks.[[/note]]
* Here lies White Haired Pretty Boy -- His chronic [[WhiteHairBlackHeart heart]] troubles finally did him in.[[note]]Was misused for any PrettyBoy who happened to have white hair, and despite the old title, it wasn't an AlwaysMale trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies White-Haired Pretty Girl -- Was killed by a {{mystic|alWhiteHair}}.[[note]]Despite the old name, it wasn't specific to female characters, and it was often misused for any woman with white hair who tropers found beautiful.[[/note]]
* Here lies Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs? -- Its [[NewJobAsThePlotDemands most recent job]] proved to be its last.[[note]]Renamed to not sound like a line of dialogue.[[/note]]
* Here lies Why Is Arnold Saving Something? -- Cancelled in favor of a BigDamnMovie.[[note]]Named after the trope's occurrence in the ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' movie, but wasn't clear ''which'' Arnold it was referring to.[[/note]]
* Here lies Widget Series -- Too {{quirky|Work}} to live.[[note]]Given the original name comes from "Weird Japanese Thing", it was supposed to be works that are odd due to cultural differences. Given it was not exclusive to Japanese works, and most examples were instead things audiences considered unusual no matter the cultural context, it received a more indicative name.[[/note]]
* Here lies Wimpification -- He was killed by strong people because of his {{Ukefication}}.[[note]]Renamed from Wimpification because of misuse to describe a character who becomes weaker, and because of the confusion with BadassDecay, due to the dictionary's definition of "wimp". Interestingly, {{Ukefication}} used to be called... "[[ShapedLikeItself Ukefication]]", and was only renamed to "Wimpification", to clean up Anime FanSpeak. While not about Seme/Uke pairings, {{Ukefication}} was considered a much better shorthand for the particular stereotype, in comparison to the much broader "wimp".[[/note]]
* Here lies Window Pain -- The [[BrokenWindowWarning warning]] came too late.[[note]]Originally used to refer to [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs any instance of a window breaking]]. The definition was refined to refer to broken windows being used as a warning sign, and the name was changed to indicate this.[[/note]]
* Here lies Wine in Front of Me -- It died from drinking poisoned wine, but [[IKnowYouKnowIKnow we both know]] that already.[[note]]Didn't make sense to those who'd never seen ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', and even to those who did get the reference, it could be mistaken for PoisonedChaliceSwitcheroo.[[/note]]
* Here lies Wizarding School -- Torn down to make way for the new ExtranormalInstitute.[[note]]Mistaken for the current meaning of WizardingSchool.[[/note]]
* Here lies Woman in White -- {{Kille|rOutfit}}d by her EtherealWhiteDress.[[note]]Misused to refer to the clothes rather than the character type, leading to a list of women wearing white, which is [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs white chairs]].[[/note]]
* Here lies The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask -- She couldn't maintain her ToughLeaderFacade.[[note]]Was an AlwaysFemale trope about a woman leader being forced to hide her ladylike aspects so she can be taken seriously, but was misused for any leader hiding their weaknesses so that their followers will respect them. Thus, the trope was redefined to the latter definition and made gender-neutral.[[/note]]
* Here lies Women Are Wiser -- Fell [[CloserToEarth too close to Earth]] and crashed.[[note]]Was too broad, and the old name was instead used for its MissingSupertrope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Woody's Finest Hour -- [[CutShort Cancelled]] before it could reach a resolution.[[note]]Was a reference to ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', where Woody discovers that a show based on himself was cancelled after the last episode ended on a cliffhanger. However, it suffered Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, so it was renamed.[[/note]]
* Here lies Wookiee Gambit -- The TrojanPrisoner didn't [[Film/ANewHope let the Wookiee win]].[[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome led to the name being unclear despite near-universal familiarity with ''Franchise/StarWars''.[[/note]]
* Here lies Word Salad Index -- Was too {{incoheren|ceIndex}}t to keep.[[note]]Wasn't restricted to tropes with the words "Word Salad" in them.[[/note]]
* Here lies Works' Pages are a Free Launch -- Died on its way to Administrivia/{{work|PagesAreAFreeLaunch}}.[[note]]After some debate, it was decided the "s" should be removed, since "work page" is a term on the wiki.[[/note]]
* Here lies "World of Cardboard" Speech -- Easily folded due to too much [[NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech holding back]].[[note]]Unclear name causing it to be used as "this is why I'm the hero" instead of a declaration that the hero will use their full potential.[[/note]]
* Here lies A Worldwide Punomenon -- It has left this {{world|OfPun}}.[[note]]The definition was unclear and it was frequently used as a Administrivia/{{sinkhole}} magnet. The new name and refined definition resulted in its usage to refer to works whose worlds are filled with puns.[[/note]]
* Here lies WTH, Casting Agency? -- [[QuestionableCasting Recasted after the audience questioned it.]][[note]]Trope was expanded to include casting choices that were well-received pre-release but considered questionable post-release, so it was renamed to reflect that.[[/note]]
* Here lies Xanadu -- Demolished after [[Film/CitizenKane Charles Kane]]'s death to prevent any more [[BuildingOfAdventure adventures]] inside it.[[note]]On top of not everyone getting the reference, it shared its name with [[Film/{{Xanadu}} another unrelated film]].[[/note]]
* Here lies Xanatos Gilligan -- Its death threw a SpannerInTheWorks.[[note]]The current name is more well-known, and the old name was a snowclone of XanatosGambit ''and'' required knowledge of two works.[[/note]]
* Here lies Xenophone -- Rejected for being too {{bizarre|Instrument}} to play at a concert.[[note]]An unclear and non-indicative name that led to a lot of misuse, necessitating the rename.[[/note]]
* Here lies Xen Syndrome -- The symptoms were visible [[DisappointingLastLevel far, far too late]].[[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, as well as assuming everyone had the same reaction to the eponymous final levels of ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'', despite it being YMMV.[[/note]]
* Here lie Xtreme Sports Xcuse Plot and Extreme Sports Excuse Plot -- Died from {{extreme|SportsPlot}} injuries during a sporting event.[[note]]The former name used XtremeKoolLetterz, which made it hard to find and underused, while the latter name sounded too negative.[[/note]]
* Here lies XYY -- Its killer was [[ExtraYExtraViolent extra violent]].[[note]]Mistaken to refer to XYY syndrome in general as opposed to leading to violent behavior.[[/note]]
* Yandere Love Triangle ga koko ni nemuru -- [[MurderTheHypotenuse The hypotenuse was murdered]] by the [[PsychoticLoveTriangle psychotic love interests.]][[note]]The love triangle doesn't necessarily have to involve {{Yandere}}s.[[/note]]
* Yangire ga koko ni nemuru -- Murdered by a [[CuteAndPsycho cute psycho.]][[note]]Not only is the trope not exclusive to Japanese media, it was also a made-up Japanese word.[[/note]]
* Ici repose The Yellow M Shout-Out -- The graffiti cleaners never understood [[ReferencedBy/BlakeAndMortimer the marque's reference]] and washed it away.
* Here lies Yes, but What Does Zataproximetacine DO? -- SideEffectsInclude drowsiness, dizziness, headache...and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick death]].[[note]]The original name was long and hard to remember.[[/note]]
* Here lies Yes Ted, That's the Joke -- [[DontExplainTheJoke The joke is that you're dead.]][[note]]While the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' reference was already clear, the new name was cleaner and more descriptive.[[/note]]
* Here lies The Yoshi -- Fell into a bottomless pit after [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] jumped off his back to grab a {{power up|Mount}} on a nearby ledge.[[note]]Underused due to Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, and when it was used, it was often used to refer to the TropeNamer from ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' instead of the trope named after him.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Are a Tree, Charlie Brown -- After it died, someone else began PlayingATree in its stead.[[note]]The old name had a [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} character name]] and wasn't even derived from anything the character did.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Are the Demons -- [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie And then you were a zombie.]][[note]]Was a reference to ''Fanfic/DOOMRepercussionsOfEvil'', but the old name referred to TomatoInTheMirror while the new one was about the inexplicable transition to that reveal.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Are Batman -- [[TakingUpTheMantle Took up the mantle]] for a deadly job.[[note]]The old name was obtuse and had a gratuitous TropeNamer.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Are with Me -- What do you {{mean|ingfulEcho}}? You just died![[note]]Named after a line in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'', the reference to which was lost on a lot of people, even many in the ''Harry Potter'' fandom.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Blockhead -- [[NeverMyFault Refused to admit fault for its actions]] until the very end.[[note]]Named after [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Lucy van Pelt]]'s catchphrase, which wasn't always used in the intended context, including tropers occasionally insulting each others' opinions.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Can Never Leave -- Shot after {{resign|ationsNotAccepted}}ing.[[note]]The old name comes from the Music/{{Eagles}} song "Hotel California," which only had a very weak connection to the trope's meaning.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Can Panic Now -- Killed by something it ''hadn't'' [[MediaScaremongering seen on TV that week]].[[note]]Frequently confused with ThisIsNoTimeToPanic (the "okay ''now'' it's time to panic" bit is still ''that'' trope!) and other tropes about panicking.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Can't Win -- Lost on [[StatusQuoGameShow a game show that didn't change anything]]. [[note]]Unclear dialogue-y name caused it to be confused with the various types of {{Unwinnable}}. [[/note]]
* Here lies You Don't Want to Die a Virgin, Do You? -- [[MustNotDieAVirgin No, you must not]].[[note]]The old name was too long, dialoguish, and attracted misuse for any life-or-death situation.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Fail X Forever -- Its tendency to [[ArtisticLicense take liberties with things]] went too far, so it failed life forever.[[note]]The ArtisticLicense tropes used to follow the naming scheme of You Fail X Forever instead of Artistic License -- X, with "X" being the subject writers are taking liberties with. Misuse of the tropes, particularly in the form of Administrivia/{{complaining|AboutShowsYouDontLike}} about inaccuracies, led to their rename. The old names initially stuck around as redirects, but the mods later decided they should be cut entirely.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Haven't Seen the Last of X... -- It escaped, but vows that WeWillMeetAgain.[[note]]The trope was a StockPhrase that was Administrivia/TheSameButMoreSpecific to WeWillMeetAgain and was eventually absorbed into that trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Know, That Thing Where... -- We will shortly be [[TropeLaunchPad launching]] its remains [[BurialInSpace into space]].
* Here lies You Make Me Sic -- [[GrammarCorrectionGag Corrected]].[[note]]Was meant to be used for characters pointing out bad grammar or spelling, but was frequently potholed to any time something had a grammar or spelling error (regardless of whether or not it was actually pointed out In-Universe). The rename makes it clearer that it's supposed to be an In-Universe trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies Your ____ Is Broken -- Its death was [[PreEmptiveDeclaration declared]] before it happened.[[note]]The underscores made the trope hard-to-search, and it wasn't clear that it was a ''preemptive'' announcement, making it misused as a Stock Phrase.[[/note]]
* Here lies Your Mileage May Vary -- It was {{love|ItOrHateIt}}d and hated, and ran out of fuel at the wrong time.[[note]]The intended meaning is that the subject is either loved or hated, with no middle ground, leading to a rename to LoveItOrHateIt. Misuse generally came in the form of linking to it in violations of Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotArguable, leading to the old name being added to the Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub. (No relation to [[YMMV/HomePage the indexes for pages classified as YMMV]].)[[/note]]
* Here lies Your Secret's Safe with Me, Superman -- Franchise/{{Superman}} spilled the beans... [[ActorRoleConfusion or maybe]] it was Creator/ChristopherReeve who did that. You be the judge.[[note]]Was mistaken for a trope about keeping someone's SecretIdentity safe, and was renamed for clarity's sake.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Should Know This Already -- It was always {{late|ArrivalSpoiler}} to the party... but everyone knows that already.[[note]]Frequently misused for FanMyopia-based complaining regarding things tropers think are common knowledge or as an excuse to not tag spoilers, instead of the proper definition of later parts of a series giving away details that were previously major spoilers.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Suck -- Actually, you don't, [[DistinctionWithoutADifference but you're still]] a [[ThisLoserIsYou loser.]][[note]]A misused PotholeMagnet for [[TakeThatAudience any jabs against the audience]] instead of a highly unflattering AudienceSurrogate.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Wanna Buy a Watch? -- No. The police will be arresting you and confiscating your {{co|atFullOfContraband}}ntraband.[[note]]The old name was underused, unclear, and based on a stock phrase.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Will Be Assimilated -- TheAssimilator added its biological and technological distinctiveness to their own.[[note]]Renamed to make it more clear that it was about a character.[[/note]]
* Here lies You Would Make a Great Model -- Fell for a ModelScam that ended gruesomely.[[note]]The old name invited creepy gushing that got the page locked for some time. A later evaluation renamed the page to get rid of the StockPhrase and focus more on the "scam" aspect of the trope.[[/note]]
* Here lies "Yum Yum" -- [[EroticEating Was sensually devoured]].[[note]]Renamed because it sounded too ambiguous.[[/note]]
* Here lies Yuppie Couple - A RecurringExtra was spotted at the scene of their murder.
* Edo vrisketai Zeno's Race -- Its health decayed {{exponential|PlotDelay}}ly.[[note]]The connection to Zeno's theory was lost on a lot of people, and even those who understood it didn't link it to plot pacing.[[/note]]
* Here lies Zero Chops -- [[WimpFight Fought like a wimp]] to the bitter end.
* Here lying Zero Wingrish -- Its [[IntentionalEngrishForFunny humoring Engrish]] not preventing the dying.[[note]]Unclear name due to Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome, with ''VideoGame/ZeroWing'' not being an example due to featuring ''unintentional'' Engrish. Renamed to better indicate that it's about intentional {{Engrish}} used as a joke.[[/note]]
* Zde spočívá Zmelik -- Fought for his life but lost to a {{dark horse|Victory}}.[[note]]Named after Czechoslovak decathlete Robert Změlík, but was renamed for being really opaque.[[/note]]

* Here lies Pop Station -- [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct It was too shoddy.]][[note]]Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome -- the former TropeNamer was a UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable knockoff showcased in a WebVideo/StuartAshen video, but those unfamiliar with the video and/or the console did not get the reference.[[/note]]

* Here lies The Snifit -- Being [[UniqueEnemy a unique specimen of its own breed]] made it unable to procreate, and went to extinction.[[note]]Named after the enemy from ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', but was renamed due to Administrivia/TropeNamerSyndrome.[[/note]]

* Here lie Straight Arrow and The Archer -- Shot by an ArcherArchetype.[[note]]Were both misused to mean "character who does archery" instead of "serious and stoic archers".[[/note]]
