Do we need the ~ to tag or does it do that automatically?
I've gone back to dewicking Obnoxious Snarker since only one person opposed it and I haven't gotten enough feedback for Hammy Snarker to do anything with it.
EDIT: Wick count is now 75.

Anyone going to object if I take on Heavy Hippo? There's not much wicks to remove, which helps a bit.

Okay, dewick for Heavy Hippo is done. Cutlisting now.

Seriously though, somebody please help with the Obnoxious Snarker wicks. I've already done half but I'm not sure I can get to the rest until after Thanksgiving because of irl stuff. These threads already stall for long periods of time, and we don't need to have this one only get 2 tropes done over several weeks.

I've removed all the Obnoxious Snarker wicks except the one to its Laconic page.
Bigotry in the name of inclusion is still bigotry.

Obnoxious Snarker and its Laconic page have been added to the cutlist.

Let's go through some of these:
- Feud Episode: Should it be made a redirect to Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario or just be nuked? I think a redirect is fine.
- Belly Flop Crushing: I feel like this might already exist as a trope somewhere, but I'll be damned if I knew what it was called.
- Cobweb Trampoline: I think this is a keeper, but it Needs More Love.
- Exorcist Head: Another potential keeper because it has narrative use as a shorthand for "person is possessed, demonic, etc."
- Food and Animal Attraction: Not necessarily Chairs because it can lead to things like a dangerous animal attack when somebody ignores some sort of "don't bring food" warning (I've seen it, but can't recall any specific examples), but the name is definitely horrible and makes it sound like Chairs. EDIT: Remembered an example from Avatar: The Last Airbender (can't remember the episode name, though). A group of refugees cross a canyon and are told to not bring food because it will attract dangerous creatures, but they do it anyway and get attacked.

My vote is redirect Feud Episode, kill Belly Flop Crushing, repair Exorcist Head to reflect its nature as a Stock Shout-Out (should be a relatively easy fix), and I have no idea what to do about Food and Animal Attraction. A lot of the things on A Bouncy, Springy Index could probably be lumped, Cobweb Trampoline included.

Regarding Cobweb Trampoline:
There seems to be a super trope in the form of Springs, Springs Everywhere. Some examples are probably already listed in the subtropes or vice versa, so I'm wondering how we should handle it.
As for Belly Flop Crushing, I'm so-so on it.

Feud Episode has its own redirect (Farewell My Friend) that I've dewicked and added to the cutlist.

No, the other one.
Not seen any convincing arguments for cutting Belly Flop Crushing. It's a stock attack technique.
Food and Animal Attraction needs fixing, but is a trope.
Check out my fanfiction!
Balling your hand into a fist and striking your opponent with it is also a stock attack technique, but it's not a trope.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
No, the other one.
But it doesn't say anything about the user. Belly Flop Crushing puts emphasis on the weight of the user.

I'm with AD in this one.
Any more opinions on turning Feud Episode into a redirect?

A redirect sounds fine.

Lesbian Cop was brought up in ATT. I say axe it.
Can we go ahead with the redirect?

That isn't a trope from Cave Cat...

Can we cut https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/TheAmericas
and https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/LatinAmerica and turn https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/TheCaribbean into a redirect for https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/NorthAmerica? It has agreed to split Useful Notes: The America into Useful Notes: North America and Useful Notes: South America, and useful notes have been made for both continents: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/NorthAmerica and https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/SouthAmerica.

I had forgotten about that. My bad, Septemus.

My apologies, Septimus. I didn't realize.

So, looking at the list further:
- Knew It All Along: Maybe there's a trope in there? It seems hard to discern.
- Kissgusting: This may be fine as a characterization trope.
- Gone Behind the Bend: There's not much in the line of examples. Maybe send to YKTTW and see what the other tropers think?
- Gluttony Montage: This may have staying power. What do you guys think?

~Karxrida I was running through from alphabetical order. Some of the tropes I listed were actually discussed and acted on, others (like Absurdly Bright Light) didn't really generate any replies. If you'd like to discuss action on them, I'm still around.
~Kyle Jacobs — and anyone else wondering — to send a PM about a thread post, type ~@/{{crazysamaritan}}, substituting other troper's names for other tropers.
