<i>Added Alliterative Appeal should be a mark against the name, not for it. It normally means that someone sacrificed clarity and wit for lazy unclear formula </i> The poet in me just wants to go bersek at that line, but okay.

I'm still holding that keeping tropes with bender in it but rejecting fag, which has the EXACT SAME MEANING is a DoubleStandard and an Americano-centric stain on the site. Seriously, USA is not the center of the world, and your usage don't have priority on those of the rest of the world. And I'm not British, by the way. And I'm not American. I'm not even a native English speaker. But I know what fag means in both country

As for ClassyCigaretteHolder, it doesn't work for two reasons:

- The trope is not just about cigarette holders, it's about every kind of long, slim cigarettes targeted to women, including those used with a holder

- This trope is specifically for women using such cigarettes, which the proposed new title doesn't convey, opening the doors for non-fitting examples such as Hunter S. Thompson.
