Grammar. Also, Murder By Inaction is misuse. MBI occurs when a character intentionally chooses to do nothing when another is in a life-or-death situation, knowing that it will lead to the other's death. Lake intentionally didn't help Lucas, but it wasn't a life or death situation as the road they were on was empty and Lake didn't know a car was coming as his back was turned. It's not subverted either since that would require the initial trope to be set up only to show it never happened. Again, see what's already written. I Take Offense To That Last One requries an accusation of Arson Murder And Jaywalking, otherwise it's misuse. Too Dumb To Live also doesn't fit, at best it's What An Idiot.

* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Best shown when Lake straight-up tells Lucas that the only reason that people like him more is because he keeps getting him into trouble to make himself look good. Lucas' BigWhat moment in response to this does imply that he's genuinely upset about the accusation.
