Line 52:
* [[Men Buy From Mars, Women Buy From Venus]] was renamed from the even longer and harder to remember "Men Are from Candy Bars Women Are from Shaving Products".
* [[The Men in Black]] was MIB. We generally don't like acronym trope names unless the spelled out title contains profanity.
* [[Metronomic Man-Mashing]] was formerly "Metronomic Mook Massacre", but was renamed because it had little to do with [[Mooks]] or massacres.
* [[Merged Reality]] was renamed from "Make a Better World" because it was being misused for characters who want to make the world a better place rather than for examples of parallel worlds being merged.
* [[Messy Pig]] was originally titled "Everything's Messier with Pigs", a snowclone of the discredited [[Everything's Better with Indexes]] family. As with several similarly named tropes, the earlier name encouraged a list of all pigs regardless of portrayal.
