Well... it doesn't.

I would suggest cutlisting it and adding it to our list of Other Stock Phrases, but other suggestions are welcome.

I'm inclined to cut and send back to YKTTW to gather examples.

We don't even need to cut it, do we? We can just set up a YKTTW to collect examples and leave the page up in the meantime.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Nobody's set up the YTTW yet, right?

Thumped: Wow. That was rude. Too many of this kind of thump will bring a suspension. Please keep it civil.

Should this be cut? Sent back to YKTTW? Or just removed as another stale thread?

Just cut it, already. Another stinking "stock phrase." Only thing that could make it worse is a bunch of "examples."

Have to agree on Eddie about this one. It's not about a trope at all, although there are related tropes that we probably don't have.

[up]Sent to cutlist. Since both you and Eddie agree on cutting this, I can't see the cut possibly being declined.

ETA: Eddie ninja'd me on the cutlist. We really need to find a way to prevent duplicate cutlistings.

Can't the cutlist tool check for duplicate postings somehow and warn if there's already an outstanding cut request?

Well, you can look at the pages listed on the Cutlist and the top section of the Recent Cuts page, to see if it's already been listed or cut.
