Sounds good on paper (he/him)
Paging ~Acebrock to the thread. Anyway, I agree with cutting because it sounds like it's Too Rare to Trope because of how specific it is. That, and the name is horrible because it has nothing to do with actual Baby Boomers.

Cut and move, as suggested in the OP

Oh, yeah, and I agree with what was said about Action Bomb in addition to cutting the main page.

Just stoic wisdom.
Good with OP suggestions.

to cutting and moving examples to Action Bomb because wow is that name horrendous.
Can shapeshift (probably)
Definitely cut and crosswick to Action Bomb. The only trope I can think of that has a worse name is Forgot Flanders Could Do That.

Cut/merge into Action Bomb.
How sweet it is
Move anything worth saving, then detonate (cut).

Cut, but don't merge with Action Bomb and check examples individually.
Broader "hiding explosives in innocent places nobody would check" may be worth yarding.

Agreed
Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb is I think the closest thing we have to a "hidden bomb" trope.
Hi! :3

If we can get creative with the wick counting, a bunch of its wicks are content-unrelated pages like Alliterative Name and I Thought It Meant. It's solidly below starving if you ignore those.
Puns as trope names can work, but not if it's just an existing phrase with the words having different meaning, and even if you did grok that the name's supposed to be a pun you'd expect it to be about actual babies as bombs.
Sounds good on paper (he/him)
I don't recall anyone saying otherwise, especially since the OP already mentions there being misuse that refers to babies or dolls as bombs.

The name went for a pun [that doesn't work], and OP (and post 6) says the name is terrible.
Sounds good on paper (he/him)
I'm aware, and I already commented on the name being a bad pun myself in my first post, while nobody here mentioned liking the name (either they called it bad or didn't say anything either way).

Calling thread in favor of cutting Baby Boomers + yarding concepts that aren't covered by other tropes.
Macron's notes
How sweet it is
I may have made an "okay boomer" reference in the epitaph.
Anyways, this should not take long.

And it's cut. Time to close.

Note: This thread was proposed by Acebrock.
Baby Boomers is a trope about bombs in baby carriages, which is all well and good. The problem is the use is all over the place, as shown in the Baby Boomers Wick Check, ranging from proper usage to babies themselves as well as dolls as bombs to the generation of people born between 1946 and 1964. Never mind that it's just barely above not thriving (at 25 wicks), meaning cleaning the misuse would put it well below the threshold, and we have a problem.
I suggest cutting it and moving the living babies as bombs examples to.Action Bomb, simply because it seems Too Rare to Trope, plus the name is terrible.
