There is a YKTTW I proposed over a year ago called Getting Too Old For This
, where the title is a shortened version of a common phrase associated with using the trope ie "I'm getting too old for this shit." I understand the whole "No New Stock Phrases" policy but I think sometimes the policy is thrown around as though it is the end all of discussion and not the beginning of it.
The name was chosen to AVOID sounding like dialogue and the trope itself is much broader than the phrase. The original name has some support and other names have been offered but nothing has gained any traction, in fact the only ones keeping up are even shorter versions like "Too Old for This."
Frankly it's arguing the semantics of the policy that has kept the trope in limbo. On the policy page itself it has a stupidly open ended statement saying you can't even have an "implied" pronoun like I, Me or You in the title, which you could add to just about ANY trope name. ie "I'm Getting Too Old For This" "I'm Too Old For Heroics" "I'm Cresting the Hill" etc.
And please don't misunderstand me, I would gladly bow out of the name if I thought it sounded like dialogue but I don't think it does. It's just that the wheel spinning is really frustrating.
