1Any trope about actively deciding "screw this" for whatever reason. Most likely, because you have something that can be used to get past the "this" in question. Which tends to be the rules. Most of these trope names are or were based on Creator/LittleKuriboh's [[MemeticMutation legendary]] ''Screw the rules, I have money!'' in the first episode of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''.
