Why do I know that? launched as Or So I Heard: From YKTTW

Working Title: Why do I know that?: From YKTTW

Drow Lord: Er...this seems to have been up for a while, with no examples. Are any expected?

Adam850: Not particularly.

Doug S. Machina: None I'll admit to.

Danel: This is increasingly being used as a tag to indicate "This is just rumour, I'm not sure if it's true." Taking the title literally. Should we have a trope-tag for that?

Bob: Yes, we should. You should probably create a YKTTW about it.

Random Surfer: is there a "contrast with" for this? I just used Or So I Know, but was unsatisfied. (Besides the fact that there's no article for it.)

Document N: You could call it "Troper Knowledge Check Failure" maybe.

Lyger: (Whoops! Thought it would auto-append my name.) This seems to be a Troper Trope, as it were. Does it apply when used in television? "[a victim has died, apparently during S&M sex] Medical Examiner Elizabeth Rodgers: No defensive wounds. Det. Lennie Briscoe: That's odd. Medical Examiner Elizabeth Rodgers: Yeah, the fun part for these guys is the struggle AFTER they've been tied up. [pause] Medical Examiner Elizabeth Rodgers: Or so I've heard." Is this an example of a different Trope, or no Trope at all?
