Famous Last Words in general is a misuse haven.

Maybe we can take it to the TRS?

The TRS is at a backlog at the moment.

Famous Last Words always came off to me as JFF at this point.

Yeah, it's on Tropes Needing TRS for being primarily used as "a character says something before they die". Once the thread starts, I'm sure that subpage will be covered.

I would say just leave it for now once the TRS thread comes it can be handled.

^^ ^ Well, depending on how this shakes out we might just have two wick checks, and that's fine too.

That said, the description and laconic make me think that the trope IS just "character says words before they die", so I'm not sure misuse is the issue.

I didn't realise there was a TRS in the works for this. I'll leave it for that then.

Thanks for the responses.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.
