Line #9 PlayingWith/SpaceX


1	'''Basic Trope''': Adding the prefix "Space" to something to make it seem cooler or more advanced.
2	* '''Straight''': "Do not make us use our Space Guns on you."
3	* '''Exaggerated''': "[[Franchise/StarTrek Space Captain's space log, space stardate Space 23460.4]]."
4	* '''Downplayed''': "Land the space ship and get the water ships ready for use."
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** A lot of the materials on a ship were made in space, which alters their forms compared to those made on a planet.
7	** Certain normal items outright won't work in space. For example, Space Guns are made from materials designed to work in a vacuum, such as powdered lubricants and light-weight ceramics. Normal guns would instantly become [[ShurFineGuns jammed]] when the workings friction-weld or the oil boils away when fired. Likewise, they may have shell catchers or be caseless somehow (self-contained ammo like [[PocketRocketLauncher gyrojets]] to avoit heat buildup) to avoid flinging cartridges around where they can cause malfunctions, and plaster bullets to avoid puncturing the ship's hull.
8	** "Space" is the brand-name. People get the idea that their products are intended for use in, or made in, actual space.
9	** [[CallASmeerpARabbit "space rabbit" describes "smeerp" rather well.]]
10	* '''Inverted''': "Well those Earth black holes aren't as dangerous as the normal ones."
11	* '''Subverted''': "This rocket has a lot of space... saving compartments."
12	* '''Double Subverted''': "... that are secured by space padlocks."
13	* '''Parodied''':
14	** Things that are ''already'' in space are called this.
15	-->"Space we're space tracking a space comet space traveling in a space nebula space approximately 3.5 space light years space away."
16	** Only one character uses the "space" prefix, who's extremely excited to travel into space and annoys the other characters by talking in this way.
17	* '''Zig Zagged''': A person at a call center gets a call from someone saying he can't find the space bar. The caller, rather than being someone hopeless with computers, is actually an astronaut on a space station trying to find a place to get some beer. The astronaut receives directions leading him there, says thanks, but wants advice about asking his girlfriend for more space.
18	* '''Averted''': Even the word "spaceship" is replaced with a different term.
19	* '''Enforced''': The author wants to hammer in the idea that nobody is used to "conventional" items.
20	* '''Lampshaded''': "Yeah, it sometimes feels lazy to rely on that for naming the new equipment."
21	* '''Invoked''': "You know what, we're out the planet's atmosphere here! just to remind everybody, I'm putting space in front of everything."
22	* '''Exploited''': A voice recognition is set so that it will go off at "space bomb", as the rest of the people would only call it a "bomb" aside from the target.
23	* '''Defied''': "Just because you invented that gun in space does not make it the "space" equivalent. Just call it a damn gun."
24	* '''Discussed''': "I guess on a space factory they might just feel it's the easiest way to think up new names."
25	* '''Conversed''': ???
26	* '''Deconstructed''': Equipment made in space isn't as sturdy or reliable due to zero gravity not making them strong enough to handle typical use.
27	* '''Reconstructed''': Equipment made in zero gravity and a vacuum is invaluable to the tech of the future. Some materials would not be possible without these factors.
28	* '''Played For Laughs''': "Ow, you space kicked me in my space nuts!"
29	* '''Played For Drama''': A man cannot live on Earth due to a medical condition. He calls everything on his station this, to remind him of home in some form.
