The very first line is "This page refers to two completely different tropes."

And completely different they are.

I created the page for the first trope (a Pet-Peeve Trope of mine). I see no problem with putting the second trope on another page.

There's already Layman's Terms, where the part about babble/plain gag can be moved. If it will look ripe for split, we can always split that.

I would also support a split.

Bumping for votes.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

It's obscure.

> Calling crowner. Let's do the split.

It's also obscure. Layman's Terms is a separate trope already, with some examples about use as a gag, of course. So what is supposed to be split from "Why Didn't You Just Say So?" then?

Welp, this is too irredeemeable to save. Cut with extreme prejudice.
