That is at least related to the trope, unlike "entrepreneur". Don't take my silence on it as a tacit endorsement, though. So you were kidding, then?

Anyway, back on topic, can we agree on taking a vote for "Merge Upper-Class Wit into Gentleman Snarker", or is there any other action anyone would like to happen?

Yes, I was.

And I agree with taking a vote on that. The only other options I can think of is making the trope definitions more clear or changing the definition of one or the other entirely.

Okay, so...I don't know how to make a crowner, so is anyone willing to make a Single Prop for what was proposed?

Calling crowner in favor of merging into Gentleman Snarker (+8; yeas 11, nays 3; both other options firmly in the red)

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Then we're onto step 5; carrying out the decision.

I think that means this trope is added to TRS Wick Cleaning, and this thread needs a Final Action button.

Completed the work, including redirecting, tagging, moving worthy examples over and moving and cleaning wicks.

Crown Description:

Upper Class Wit is defined as an Intelligent Upperclass Twit. An Upperclass Twit is defined as a type of Idle Rich.

Gentleman Snarker also exists and covers the same basic demonstration of intelligence (Witty rejoinders), and is not Idle-rich specific.

39 total examples from the page itself. 24 counts of Idle Rich, assuming ZCE as correct use. That's 15/39 misuse, or 38% misuse for Non Idle Rich on the trope page.
