U

 * Ultimate Evil is not necessarily the most evil guy in a series.

 * Nor does it refer to a hypothetical installment in which the overworld is one big city.
 * Ur Example is not lolspeak for 'your example'.

V

 * Verbing Nouny has nothing to do with the fact that all nouns can be verbed.

 * The Voice of the Legion will not usually say "Hail Caesar" or "S.P.Q.R"
 * Voices Are Mental is not about characters being committed due to hearing (or believing they're hearing) voices; it's not about insane voices, and it's not about your inner monologue either.
 * A Voodoo Shark is not one that is used for jumping.
 * But suddenly introducing one may well cause Shark-Jumping.

W

 * Waif Fu has nothing to do with Azumanga Daioh.
 * Wake Up Call Boss isn't about calling in sick to work, or an employer who wants to make damn sure you're not late to work again.

 * Western Animation does not necessarily take place in The Wild West.
 * Wet Sari Scene is not what happens when Yuki Oshima writes an episode of Transformers Animated. Nor does it have anything to do with Phantasy Star III. It does have to do with people, usually hot women, getting wet.

 * Wolverine Publicity has nothing to do with the University of Michigan, Morris Brown College, or any other school with a wolverine as its mascot.
