[up][up] That is interesting, maybe it should be proposed in the repair shop to move all sexual examples from DTROA to DE.

^ Unless you see misuse on a bigger scale. you could move misplaced examples yourself.

[up] That really does nothing to get at the source of the confusion.

I think a TRS or cleanup thread would be worthwhile, but I also think any image changes, provided we're going to do them, might best be done before we move the examples, so that people don't see the sex joke image, assume that's what it's about, and add examples accordingly.

Someone knows if is the chicken or the egg? was the image first the one that was missleading and people started adding sexual innuendos as examples, or was that the trope at some point became mostly about sex and then someone added the image accordingly?

In any case I think the trope qualifies as an extreme case of missuse, but indeed is better to choose the new image first before openning the TRS.

If we're replacing the image, I think the image in post 8 is good.

Coming back full circle to the Santa and religion angle, a much better one I forgot to mention last time...

[up] What is that image supposed to remind of? I don't get it at all... (Sincere question. And I don't know the work, but that shouldn't be necessary)

Well, if it's not obvious enough, we still have plenty of examples from which to choose.

I believe it is meant to be (or being interpreted as) a Titanic reference.

[up] It sorta makes sense now, I'd've never gotten that otherwise.

Is there any non-sex-joke entry that everyone gets?

[up] We already said 8 was good.

[up] A few did... is it in consensus range, though?

8 doesn't rely on the text and is not a sexual innuendo. [tup]

Do we need a crowner? There's a LOT of choices for this thread.
