This trope has good wiks, and good inbounds, but it's currently very hard to find if you don't know what it's called. It needs some searchable redirects. Any ideas?

Interestingly, according to Fast Eddie's interview-article-thing with io9, this is the very first trope on the site. I expect it comes under a historical protection order regarding anything more than redirects. smile

We aren't changing the name. We are adding redirects.

We can still add a redirect though. You Are Not Making Me Do That Cut?

Putting ourselves in the mind of the searcher is kinda tough here — it's abstract and there's a time transition in the trope.

Thinking in sets of keywords, shorter versions catch more search variations.

Not Doing That Cut I think is the better of the current suggestions.

How about the "not gonna cut"? Or just "not gonna"?

In honor of the page quote, I recommend F Troop Cut.

Not Gonna Happen?

It portrays the sentiment of the trope, at least the sentiment of the line just before the cut.

^Sounds like dialog.

I'm not sure that the slangy "gonna" is something that people are likely to search for. If I only vaguely remembered the search term, I think I'd more likely try "going to". But I'm not really sure.

I was actually looking this one up a few months back under Doodle Lee Doop Cut, the onomatopoetic title I was thinking of until I realized it was the Gilligan Cut.

Get a slant at this glossary of Pulp Detective terms. It rates. Pipe that?
