This index used to be called "Chekhov's Pun" -- the title ([[SelfDemonstratingArticle but not concept]]) was taken from ChekhovsGun, a common target of the various punners that frequent [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/tlp_activity.php TLP]]. NightmareFuel, NightmareRetardant, NightmareDreams, [[UncannyValley Nightmare Valley]], and NightmareFuelStationAttendant suggest that this is happening to another trope, though those ''are'' directly related to the original article.

Another example is the JustForPun index, which is a pun on JustForFun. In fact, ''many'' JustForPun entries were named after other tropes.

The term "Snow Clone" originated on [[http://languagelog.com Language Log]], from multiple examples of people claiming "[Culture X] has [Y] words for [concept Z.]" based on the [false] statement that "Eskimos have 50 words for snow."

It's a fairly common practice in the wiki to make puns based on pre-existing trope titles. Outside of this wiki, this is called a "snowclone", where in a sentence "X is the new Y", X and Y can be substituted for anything the speaker wants to use.
