 * Four Is Death does not necessarily mean you will die at age four. Nor is it a version of the three strikes law in which a fourth "strike" nets the death penalty. (Although both of these could be true given the nature of the trope in question)
 * The Four Loves has nothing to do with the four romances.
 * Four-Star Badass is not a discussion of the most badass characters in Dragon Ball Abridged by Team Four Star.
 * It is also not a badass character with rave reviews.
 * Or a particularly effective Level 4 Yu-Gi-Oh! card.
 * 4X is not the classification for particularly squicky porn.
 * Nor an Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo to xxxHolic.
 * Nor the Discworld continent known as XXXX or Fourecks.
 * Franchise Zombie is not the curiously-named daughter to Rob Zombie.
 * ...And it does not necessarily involve The Undead, although there are some that do.
 * Freeze Ray doesn't mean to use one on someone named Ray.
 * Fridge Brilliance has nothing to do with climbing into a fridge to survive a nuclear explosion, or with particularly well-lit refrigerators.
 * Fridge Horror is not about the foul leftover beasts that lurk within.
 * Nor was it how Kyle Rayner reacted to his girlfriend's murder.
 * Fridge Logic has nothing to do with sentient cooling devices, or freezers suddenly acquiring intelligence.
 * Would those be defeated via Fridge Logic Bomb?
 * Friend to All Living Things is not about characters who are friendly to all living things. Trope names can be so misleading.
 * Frills of Justice is not the fancy robes judges wear in the British Commonwealth.
 * They've got rid of them nearly everywhere now, and we want them back!
 * Frozen Fashion Sense isn't about what Elsa and Anna wear, or cold weather in general for that matter.
 * Frozen in Time is not what happens when you cause one paradox too many and the Time Police start getting angry. Nor does it involve freezing that must be done before it's too late.
 * Frying Pan of Doom is not what Sauron cooks breakfast with.
 * A Fuku Fic is not a Troll's badly misspelled attempt of a Take That directed to a reader of fan stories. Nor is it a fanfic involving sushi prepared from a poisonous blowfish.
 * A Full-Circle Revolution doesn't refer to completing all 360 degrees of a low-eccentricity orbit.
 * Full-Frontal Assault actually is referring to nudity, not tactics (though it can be employed in a manner that really does help one fight).
 * It also does not involve vaginal rape. (most of the time...)
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment is not about schadenfreude nor is it about Narm from bad acting when a character is suffering an aneurysm.
 * Fur and Loathing has nothing to do with attacks on furries
 * Fur Bikini is not a furry in a swimsuit, unless the swimsuit is made of fur.
 * Furry Confusion is neither a description of someone who isn't sure whether he's a furry or not, nor the furry equivalent of Mistaken for Gay.
 * Furry Webcomics are not webcomics made out of fur. Nor do their print editions have covers made out of fur.
 * Fusion Dance is not dance music mixed with one or more other genres.
