I Thought It Meant

""Inflammable means flammable?! What a country!""

- Dr. Nick, The Simpsons

Some of the trope names can be a bit arbitrary, or named after certain series, or Just for Pun. Here's a list to make the titles more clear. Obviously, while this list can be very helpful, it's mostly Just for Fun.

Compare Square Peg, Round Trope. Contrast Exactly What It Says On the Tin, Index of Exact Trope Titles. For confusing titles of works instead of tropes, see I Thought That Was. For pages that confuse people even after they are read, see Canonical List of Subtle Trope Distinctions. For misused words in general, see You Keep Using That Word and The Big List of Booboos and Blunders.

Terms to clear up, then:

 * A-C
 * D-F
 * G-I
 * J-L
 * M-N
 * O-R
 * S-T
 * U-W
 * X-Z
