** It's also not a demand to have one's jetpack given to them.
* IWantMyMommy is not about an Oedipus complex.
* IWantSong is not about a king demanding minstrels. Nor is it about a big, dumb, mean captor who is sedate ''as long as there's music playing''.
** Nor is it the song "I Want It Now!" sung by Veruca Salt (the character, not the band) from [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory that film]].
** It's also not a [=LOLcat=]. (Not yet, anyway.)
** It also isn’t the song “I Want” from VideoGame/TheIdolmaster.
** Nor is it asking for a Korean person with a common family name.
* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine has nothing to do with "[[Film/Scarface1983 Say hello to my little friend!]]"
* Someone with occasion to say IWasBeatenByAGirl is not (usually) a victim of DomesticAbuse by a female partner. He is typically the loser of a fair fight or an athletic contest.
* IWasJustPassingThrough is not about talking neutrinos.
* IWasQuiteALooker, but I was never a [[Characters/PokemonDiamondAndPearl quirky Kalosian detective]].
