Fundamentally Funny Fruit: I never knew it was a trope, even though it seems permanantly embedded in my speech patterns. I must use it in a story with a fictional fruit.
Currently bananas are not turning into grapefruits.

So is there a trope that you discovered after or while writing a story that included it, where you knew the thing in question was tropeable but didn't know that there was in fact a trope for it?
