* RatedGForGangsta is not a subtrope or even particularly related to RatedMForManly.
* For that matter, RatedMForManly ''isn't'' strictly about the M rating and its equivalents; while certain things associated with masculinity ''also'' up the rating of your work (violence, sexual content, coarse language) there are both manly works more appropriate for general audiences ''and'' mature-rated works that aren't very manly.
* And RatedMForMoney doesn't imply that discussion of money isn't fit for younger audiences.
* A RayGun isn't a gun that [[AbnormalAmmo shoots stingrays]].

** And while it might be delivered by an Elder Vampire to a fledgeling, it has nothing to do with explaining the Facts of Unlife.

* RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude is not about using ''your'' attitude to recruit teenagers.
* RecurringRiff is not the [[OutOfFocus on-again-off-again]] secondary lead character of ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''. Except, arguably, when the zombies kept saying his name.
* RecycledInSpace is not about interstellar environmentalism, unless it's just a rehash of Earth environmentalism.
* A RedAndWhiteComedyPoster is not usually [[WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver eerie all over]].
* RedBaron: An all-powerful villain that is [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} most likely just a figment of the hero's imagination]]? Sadly, no. Frozen pizza? Not quite, either.
** It's not the English name for Brazillian band Barão Vermelho[[note]]And the Spanish band Barón Rojo[[/note]] either.
** Nor is it about a nobleman ranking below a count and above a knight, who's a communist.
** Nor is it about the actual Manfred von Richtoffen, except as one of its examples.

** Nor necessarily a fish that is red.
** Nor does it have to do with that bully from ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'', though he qualifies.
* A Administrivia/RedLink is not [[Characters/TheLegendOfZeldaLink Link]] wearing a [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Goron Tunic]], nor the Red Link in games where there [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwords are]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwordsAdventures]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTriForceHeroes multiple]] Links wearing differently-colored tunics. Nor is it Link as a communist.

*** It also has nothing to do with playing Twister.
*** Nor is it what Ghirahim uses to block Link's sword {{bare|HandedBladeBlock}}-handed in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword''.

* ReformedRakes has nothing to do with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rake_(stock_character)#The_rake_in_restoration_comedy restoration rakes]], though they may overlap. It also has nothing to do with Literature/TheRake making a HeelFaceTurn.

* The [[RenamedTropes/AToE Renamed Tropes: A to E]] section isn't just a list of tropes whose names used to begin with A but now begin with E, such as [[ElegantClassicalMusician]], though it does include those. The same goes for the other sections.

It's also not when there is more than one [[ConsoleRPGCliches121To144 Ominous Ring of Land]], or a [[Literature/TheRing deadly videotape]]. And we know you feel clever for thinking back to that moment in the mid-nineties where you finally reached Knuckles's final boss in ''[[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sonic & Knuckles]]'' and he started firing deadly rings at you, and you're getting warmer, but no, that's still not quite it. What, ''murderous {{crop circles}}''? Oh, for crying out loud. And if you're thinking of a circular ArtifactOfDoom, you're ''still'' off the mark.
