alt title(s): Vigilante Taxonomist
Describe Troper here.

Yeah, like that's going to happen. The first occurrence of "troper" as a name for the people who record their thoughts here was in 2004, about a month after we launched. It was coined by a guy who wrote a lot of good TV.

And a few movies.

Moving on.

Mostly, it means You. That's right, You. Time's person of the year, 2006. A Vigilante Taxonomist. A person who gets it.

Do not confuse with This Troper.
