* [[Big Bad Wannabe]] was "Evil Frog Who Wants to Be an Ox", a title that is quite awkward in a sentence due to its length, requires more typing than ideal, and is not immediately connected to its subject unless the reader knows the specific [[An Aesop|Aesop]] and applies it correctly.

* [[Bigger Is Better in Bed]] was formerly "Biggus Dickus", a reference to ''[[Monty Python's Life of Brian]]''.

It also clarifies that the trope is about the connection between size and sexual performance, not ''just'' large size on its own.

* [[Danger Room Cold Open]] was called the long and unwieldy "Professor X Likes to Watch Teenagers Sweat", which was also loaded with (probably not unintentional) implications that make you think of a different trope.

* [[Disguised in Drag]] was formerly "Bosom Buddies". Being titled after a show was grounds enough for a rename, but also the "obvious allusion to female anatomy" wasn't that obvious.
