Noxious, if you think trope names don't matter, perhaps we should quit with all that lengthy alphabet stuff and just give the tropes numbers: 1, 2 3, and so on. Or if those are too hard to remember, maybe we could shortcut the decision making process by naming all the tropes with random dictionary words. Everyone can just check the trope pages to understand what the tropes mean, right?

Like this:
 * Absorb: Fred and Bob.
 * Choirloft: Alice gets a new job, but
 * Clinic: The bear
 * Commodore: Fred's parents.
 * Flight: Bob and Alice, after Erase.
 * Fluent:
 * Materfamilias: Bob and Caroline's trek to the Andes doesn't quite go as expected.
 * Maximal:
 * Ow: Alice's Christmas presents.
 * Regale: In the end, Bob
 * Set: David's tiki statue turns out to have supernatural qualities.
 * Tangerine: Bob.
 * Zori: Bob's car.

And userboxes are pretentious now? I actually think they're pretty frivolous, but I wanted to express my philosophy in a concise way. (Did you notice what the acronym is?)
