the Retromancer
Not entirely confident it's redundant with Precision F-Strike, which was recently remade into Breaking Point Swearing, so that argument is now even worse.
I see the trope playing two ways:
- This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!
- A vulgar version of Borrowed Catchphrase / Parrot Exposition
Examples of the first one can be moved over, but wonder if the second one could be own thing.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
I think we should cut it and move any meaningful examples to Breaking Point Swearing, This Is for Emphasis, Bitch! or Sir Swears-a-Lot
Sounds good on paper (he/him)
We overturned the decision to retool Precision F-Strike into Breaking Point Swearing after the problems with that name were pointed out, but I think we can handle this independently of that thread. The lack of wicks makes me think we can redirect to These Tropes Should Watch Their Language and move any examples that fit other tropes elsewhere.

Agree with redirecting. I'd normally say "disambig", but there aren't a whole ton of wicks so I think a redirect would work better.

Redirecting + moving any examples that fit other tropes to their fitting tropes.
How sweet it is
Redirecting sounds good.

Hooked a crowner because there's already a decent amount of support for redirecting, but not enough votes.

Calling in favor of redirecting to These Tropes Should Watch Their Language.

Crown Description:
Quote Swear Unquote only has 36 wicks after being on the wiki for over a decade, and every single correctly used wick also falls under one of either This Is For Emphasis Bitch or Precision F Strike, as shown by Quote Wick Check Unquote. (A couple also overlap with Country Matters). What should be done with it?

I also found Wrongfully Attributed, which covers any other use case of this trope. This is a pretty clear-cut case of cut+merge, imo. Nothing unique here.
