I\'m not sure that this is what prompted you to post the link above, Septimus, but I\'ve noticed a lot of misuse lately. [=ZCEs=] like \

I\\\'ve noticed a lot of misuse lately. [=ZCEs=] like \\\"Character X wears a sweater\\\" and inversions presented as straight examples, like \\\"Character X wears baggy sweaters to hide her figure\\\".

I think the previous TRS thread arrived at a good consensus to let the trope match the common (but dated) usage outside of the Wiki, viz. \\\"A woman wears tight sweaters to emphasize her bustline\\\", but I also know that there are many people who have never heard of that term. I know of it because of some forays into 1940s and 50s popular culture, not because I use it in daily life.

I also noticed that the trope definition has been extended to talk about sweaters in other cultures etc, and I opened a Trope Talk thread about that, but attracted very little attention and didn\\\'t get a consensus any way.
