The VerbalTic version of OohMeAccentsSlipping. A character with a weird speaking habit, such as [[RhymesOnADime rhyming all the time,]] [[YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe using pseudo-archaic terms]], [[JiveTurkey outdated slang,]] or just any [[VerbalTic weird speech habit,]] starts to trip up after trying to keep up the speaking habit for a while. One common example is a constant rhymer who starts to trip up on his rhymes as the story progresses, either making nonsense rhymes, or forgetting to rhyme. Almost always played for laughs.

Add example - America's Got Talent
Added DiffLines:
* A sad real-life example: on ''Series/AmericasGotTalent'', Afghanistan veteran Timothy Poe auditioned as a country singer. He spoke with a stutter that he claimed was a result of a brain injury from an RPG. His audition went perfectly, and at the end he spoke a full sentence without stuttering, which was seen by the audience and judges as a miracle. After the episode aired, it came out that Poe had lied about his service record and never received such an injury, so it is reasonable to assume that his speech impediment was also faked.
