History RenamedTropes / LToP

* NeverMyFault used to be "You Blockhead", after Lucy's {{Catchphrase}} in ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}''. Even though the character is the type to never admit fault, the catchphrase wasn't always used in that context. In any event, the name was also a line of dialogue and occasionally used as a way of tropers expressing their own opinion about things.

* PrecisionFStrike was briefly renamed to "Breaking-Point Swearing" before being renamed back to PrecisionFStrike. The trope had seen gradual decay and misuse, straying from meaning "a sudden, uncharacteristic use of profanity for emphasis" to instead highlight ''any'' kind of profanity, and it was briefly argued to be the result of the name being too vague on depicting what scenario it's meant to describe. The trope was renamed to "Breaking-Point Swearing" to de-emphasize the "F-Strike"/implied "F-bomb" that was believed to be the reason why the trope was such a PotholeMagnet, as well as to narrow down the scenario in question. However, this new title was quickly deemed to be ''too'' narrow as it only implies uncharacteristic profanity from angry outbursts (making several examples, such as a character casually swearing out of nowhere for comedic MoodWhiplash, no longer counting despite fitting the trope's original point), and it quickly became subject to misuse in its own right (by the title's implication, a character reaching their RageBreakingPoint and releasing [[ClusterFBomb a long stream of profanity]] would count, despite ClusterFBomb being almost the opposite of the intended idea). After further reconsideration, the original PrecisionFStrike title was restored as it was deemed the least problematic and confusing option, with the growing misuse being less because of the title itself and more general user error.

* {{Manchild}} used to be "The Oscar", after a character from ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment''. It failed the JustForFun/OneMarioLimit, especially with respect to [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward the Oscars]]. And the TropeNamer wasn't even an example himself.

* UsefulNotes/TheModernAgeOfComicBooks used to be just "Modern Age". It was renamed because it gave no indication that it had anything to do with comic books, leading to Administrivia/{{wick}}s about all kinds of eras known as the "modern age".

* NeverLiveItDown used to be "Jean Grey Escalation", after the ''Franchise/XMen'' character. The idea was that she had ''one'' ComicBookDeath which the writers and fans both blew out of proportion to the point that it helped define her character. This same mischaracterisation plagued the trope name, with tropers using "Jean Grey Escalation" as a synonym for DeathIsCheap.
