It's really bothering me that the trope is simply called "nosebleed" without any clarification at all. It seems almost like it's showing favoritism to Anime fans.

For reference, the trope is about a man (or in some rare, but increasingly common cases, a woman) having a nosebleed as a visual shorthand for arousal. Primarily an Anime Trope.

Anyway, what do you think, tropers?

I think that you should provide some proof of misuse*

before claiming that the name is ambiguous.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

No proof of misuse = dead thread.
