** Nor is it about malevolent footwear or architecture.
** Nor is it a BigBad who lasts through [[StoryArc a single season]] (see ArcVillain for that).
* ArchnemesisDad is only used when the father is the villain. For examples where the child is the villain, see AntagonisticOffspring, even if the heroic father is the child's ArchEnemy.
* ArcNumber is not [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_length the integral from a to b of the square root of (1 + f'(x) ^2)]].
** It also has nothing to do with [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Jaune Arc's]] ability to count.

** Similarly, a CerebusRetcon isn't about how ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' retconned Cerberus from an Alliance black ops group that went rogue, to being an NGOSuperpower. That would be a Cerberus reckon.
** A KnightOfCerebus isn't a moniker used to describe [[VideoGame/MassEffect2 Shepard, Miranda, Jacob]] [[VideoGame/MassEffect3 Kai Leng or the Phantoms]]. That would be Knight of Cerberus.
* ChainLightning is not about a chain made out of lightning, nor an electrified chain. Nor is it about putting [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Lightning]] in shackles.
** Nor is it telling Mater in ''WesternAnimation/Cars1'' to go tow Lightning [=McQueen=].

** Also nothing to do with changing settings on a computer motherboard.
** Also nothing to do with jumper cables.
** Nor is it particularly about cleaning up after an episode of BringMyBrownPants.

** Nor is it a child who [[TheDitherer keeps changing their mind]].
* ChangelingFantasy has little to do with TheFairFolk, or VoluntaryShapeshifting. In particular, it has nothing whatsoever to do with [[ComicBook/TeenTitans Beast Boy's]] idle daydreams, nor those of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Queen Chrysalis and her minions or ex-minions,]] nor those of [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Odo or his people]].
