This is a perfect example of a TRS thread that doesn't present the necessary research. I just looked at some of them and as far as I can tell, a good chunk are using the trope within its definition. There are some that are zero-context, which in and of themselves are not enough to prompt a repair thread.
If you want to do this again, please do the work to present a random sampling of wicks.

There is rampant misuse of this trope to mean 'just going really fast', when the actual (and pretty clearly defined) meaning is 'going so fast that reality suffers a prolapse and breaks your brain.' I'm not going to cite examples, even a cursory examination will reveal the extent of the misuse. Perhaps a rename is in order, as the current name merely invokes the 'going really fast' part.
Can't think of anything witty, so have this instead...
