* HULK SMASH PUNY TROPER ALL THE WAY TO [[TropeFinder LOST AND FOUND]]! -- A banner at the top states that queries for the name of a trope or Administrivia/DoWeHaveThisOne should be directed to TropeFinder (previously called LostAndFound). People consistently failing to read this before posting resulted in Tropers/CrypticMirror suggesting a [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Big Green Banner]] would be impossible to ignore. HulkSpeak replies to such questions became customary for a while until [[OverusedRunningGag the joke wore thin due to overuse]]. Archived thread [[http://i.imgur.com/BYeO5HW.png here]].

* "Big feet, big..." -- You know what they say about {{troper}}s with big feet? They just may be in violation of our "[[Administrivia/TVTropesCustoms Don't be a dick]]" rule. Not just a ForcedMeme, but also a dead horse one, at that. It didn't help that it had to be explained from the word "go", and as ComicBook/TheJoker once said, "[[DontExplainTheJoke If you have to EXPLAIN a joke, there IS no joke!]]"

* "My foot in your ass" -- A [[Series/That70sShow Red Forman]]-esque way of suggesting that a [[WikiVandal vandal]], {{troll}}, or the like is about to have some misfortune visited upon him by the higher-ups. More often than not, a variant thereof is used. Now a DiscreditedMeme on ATT. Revived on a small scale in reference to the one-joke "cloud to butt" plugin as "my foot in your cloud".

* HeWhoMustNotBeNamed -- This is not funny or a joke, but is confusing to a newcomer. It refers to a specific former troper with, unfortunately, serious RealLife mental and emotional problems who has been very persistent about attempting to evade his ban. Because mentioning him tends to trigger him posting vitriolic rants and death threats, indirect euphemisms are used. (It is preferred he not be mentioned or discussed at all unless necessary.) If you see a rant with extreme exclamation-point abuse, please do NOT reply or engage this person -- the mods will deal with the situation. On the funny side, this actually gave rise to the "Lord Voldemort" pseudonym recently (you know who[[labelnote:*]]No pun intended[[/labelnote]] else is called HeWhoMustNotBeNamed? That's right).

* ''The Ancient Circle of Mods'' — Whenever someone asks about new mods or becoming a mod, tropers will turn the query into some wild fantasy ritual. What ritual? It is different each time, no ritual is used twice consecutively, and the detail is often along the line of TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow.

%% Message from Nate: This is what you get for betraying a once-lonely troper like me [[http://oi61.tinypic.com/9s5tl0.jpg by telling me not to come back forever and to "Go somewhere else and leave us alone"]], mods.

%% Seriously, you friggin' turned me into a MISERABLE, HOPELESS and DEPRESSED person because of that damn message, so you COMPLETELY destroyed my life. I don't DESERVE to be bored again. I'm a TROPER, for God's sake. I'm trying to EXPAND the wiki with more stuff that nobody has ever talked about here. "You are not welcome here" MY ASS! >:(
