Misused: Worth It

Worth It is supposed to be about a specific joke; somebody does something that's stupid and hurts themselves, then declares "Worth it!" while everyone else rolls their eyes. It's being used (even on the trope page) as the dramatic version, Was It Really Worth It?, where the Well-Intentioned Extremist will solemnly say that their plan was worth all the pain, and they'd do it again if they could.

My suggestion is to rename Worth It to 'Worth It!' Gag, custom-titling WorthIt to display as the same. That will make misuse much more obvious, and cleanup easier.

Thoughts?

Needs more evidence of misuse before we can have a thread on it. Like a Wick Check, say.
