But aren't there a lot of uses and references to the phrase that do mean this?
Are people adding parodies of the phrase or something? Because any use of the actual phrase in a straight manner is this trope. Of course other phrases count too, but this phrase also counts right?
Wow that has like hardly any examples. I'd rerun it through YKTTW for a week or two to get more.

SPATULA, Supporters of Page Altering To Urgently Lead to Amelioration (supports not going through TRS for tweaks and minor improvements.)This seems like Rousing Speech for Freedom-oriented or Freedom-defending purposes. I'd even put in a certain speech made by Gandhi's main opponent and argue that it counts.
This may be tropable, it just needs quite a few more fictional examples.

The description says rousing speeches are just sometimes included.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.No, that implies the enslaved being given a choice, which even then would be I Die Free.

An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up....I don't know, the name is really obvious to me, personally. Is this a well-used trope? I've never seen it before...
If not, I think we could just do a clean-up job, and then leave that warning up about how it's not about the phrase, it's about the trope...
I am now known as Flyboy.Well "ultimatum" alone doesn't state who is giving it.

Yes, I suggested this trope, and gave it the name, but misuse is there. This is a clear example of naming a trope for a phrase being a bad idea (as the phrase isn't tied to the trope, despite the first use actually meaning that).
