Agreed. It's definitely a trope, but the description is rambling, and the name isn't clear at all.

What an awful, awful name. Why is it so bad? Because it purports to be connected to/named after a particular work, but it isn't; it's only connected to/named after that work through another work entirely.
Go with the real life term for this.

Yeah, cut and send back to YKTTW.
It's so tempting to get out one of my hammers, probably the "Clear and Concise" one and whap whoever named it this on the head several times.

Ten wicks including two indices, YKTTW only up a few days, only three replies, six examples. And oh yes, a horrible name. The name "Disneyland Dad" mentioned in the page would be a better fit, but I'd just cut the thing and run it through YKTTW again.
mudshark: I don't expect Nate to make sense, really.
