Not Tropeworthy: A Real Man Pees Standing Up

Go To

Aside from anything else, we already have Male Restroom Etiquette.

Four examples, one of which is a Zero Context Example, two seem to be "men pee standing up" and the last is incomprehensible.

No sign it ever went through YKTTW. 3 links, 2 of them indexes and one the trope's own Laconic page.

For the record, that Laconic: "When men pee, they stand up." And when they use chairs, they sit down.

"Guy is made fun of for sitting peeing sit down" could be a trope. This page isn't that. Cut it.

[up][up]That would at least fit the "Real Man" snowclone. Seems like it might have been the original idea, but they couldn't actually find any examples of it.

The description is some of the most bizarre (mis-)analysis I've seen in quite some time. Someone really went out of their way to try to come up with a justification for this. I'm actually impressed—but I'd be more impressed if it made any sense. grin

Cut. If someone wants to make something related, they can take it to TRS. We don't need to keep this around on the off-chance. There's nothing here that qualifies as anything more than people sitting on chairs. Or...standing in front of them. Or something.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

Um, what? How is that a trope? Even the tropeworthy parts are covered elsewhere. *vote for cut*

How much of a consensus do we need before sticking it on the Cut List? Or should I wait for a couple of days or something?

7th vote is here. Make a note on the discusison page and cutlist it.

This is ancient. It's been around ever since you could edit without logging in. In fact, it was made by an anonymous editor.

But yes, cut it.

I agree that this trope should go to the cut list. This trope is just taking up space in the trope repair shop.

Cut it and let's move on to something worthy of our time.

Throwing another vote on the cut pile just to feel special.

It's been cut, hollering for a lock.
