Fighteer Lost in Space from The Time Vortex (Time Abyss) Relationship Status: TV Tropes ruined my love life

This one got created without any love or attention to detail. Not even an index. But rather than cutlist it immediately, I figure it might attract a bit of Wiki Magic. Go forth.

Using a catch phrase as a trope title has not worked out well before: So Yeah got added to a zillion different tropes without adding value — I'd suggest zapping this one.

EDIT: As side note the current defintion seems off the mark.

A more common meaning is as a sarcastic response — a Take That!: a way to say that a joke is stupid and the joke-cracker is stupid.

I indexed it under Stock Phrases as it is definitely one of those. We've got plenty of others (just see the index), so simply being a commonly used phrase is not a death sentence.

Sure, I'm not against documenting stock phrases, I'm just saying there is a small minority of stock phrases that are the flavour of the month and and lend themselves to getting tacked on to things where it the troper making a personal response rather than referring to a trope.

How is this a stock phrase? I've never heard anyone say it anywhere.

It's a stock phrase on the internet as used by real people i.e. it's a meme. I've never seen a fictional use.

^I think it was said at one point in Yu Gi Oh The Abridged Series, but then that show is a walking meme repository...

If it's a meme, then put it on the Memetic Mutation page and cut this one.

Looks like it has been cut.

This discussion is probably done.
