May overlap with TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard or LargeHamTitle. See also LongList, SecretHandshake, and FictionalGreetingsAndFarewells. In pre-modern or medieval fantasy settings this frequently overlaps with VerbalBusinessCard since the greeting may include useful information about the person's identity (rank in society, past accomplishments etc). If one specific person greets people or is greeted in this manner, see {{catchphrase}} and PhraseCatcher respectively.

* ''King Matt the First'' has an Asian king who, whenever meeting another king, insists on his country's formal protocol for such cases; basically, half an hour of constant bowing. When meeting one king, it might work, but since the chapter in question involves a large conference, it becomes problematic.

* ''Fanfic/TheMountainAndTheWolf'' has a (relatively) short one when Red Priests are sent to aid Westeros to fight against the Chaos gods. The problem is that the priest uses the full list of titles of his god and the high priest ''every single time'' he's mentioned.
