You know how a trope needs to be common enough to be a trend on multiple pieces of media, but also have enough meaning to affect the story in a way that defines it? Well, not on my watch, it doesn’t. Post the name and description, and maybe even some examples, of a trope you’d never want to see on this wiki. It can be People Sit On Chairs, Too Rare To Trope, The Same But More (Specific), or any other violation of wiki policy. It can even be YMMV or Trivia, too!
Also, no references to Mario Pissing or Gay—especially not the latter. If you do that, I will holler your post. Please be original.
Without further ado, let’s begin.

"Oh, did I win?"So Long, Gay!: Throwing a gay off a tower.
Bye Bi!: Throwing a bisexual off a tower.
I sadly doubt he would like Popeyes, though...Diegesis Refugee: So imagine there's this movie, and the main villain is a violinist. We see him in flashbacks every so often, but our heroes are unable to locate him. This is a movie with an orchestral soundtrack, and every so often whenever the heroes are discussing something sensitive about the villain, you can hear one of the violin players briefly slip up and go off-key. Then at the climax of the movie, the lead is like "I know where [the villain] is hiding... he's signed up to be part of the non-diegetic score!" and then the soundtrack suddenly screeches to a halt. We hear the villain speaking like he's far away from the microphone: "Hey, hey, that's just a rumor. It could be any one of- what are you doing?" and then there's the sounds of a fight and of a bunch of string and woodwind instruments being smashed. Then for the rest of the movie the score sounds like it's being played on terribly broken instruments (which it is). So that's the Laconic description, what do you guys think?
Diabetic Soundtrack Usage: When someone uses insulin shots to make music.
For every low there is a high.Diabetic Diegesis: In-universe music reflects a character's diabetes.
Overly Long Laconic: The laconic page for a trope, work, or anything else is not as short or simple as it should be. Instead, it is a detailed summary that would be better off in the description page while a one-sentence description at most is written for the laconic page, or even just edited to remove any redundant or unnecessary words. In fact, will you please help me write a shorter version of this?

"So, what have you been up to lately?" - Lida#7187
: I don't know why they had to replace the “So long, gay Bowser!” line with “Bye bye!” in the 2020 Switch rerelease. But at least it spawned a new meme.

Detective Alligator: Subtrope of Detective Animal, presumably done for the puns involving the word "investigator". Examples of this trope include Later Alligator, BROK the InvestiGator, Investi-Gator: The Case of the Big Crime, and InvestiGators.
