(Elder Troper)

Does anyone think that "Dear boy" itself should be a trope? Such as, situations in which an older individual (usually an older male villain or something) refers to a younger counterpart (often a young hero) as "Dear boy" in various phrases and conversations? It crops up a lot, to the point that "Dear boy" shows up at the end of a few tropes, "Money, dear boy" for example. Just curious to know if anyone thinks that should be a trope, or if it's not enough of a thing to be worth making a page for.
