* [[Our Elves Are Better]] gets interpreted in different ways. One is focusing entirely on the "better" part, using it for [[Superior Species]] even if elves aren't involved at all. Another is that the title is literally about elves being portrayed as superior (or at least being smug toward everyone else), leading some tropers to think there is a more neutral Our Elves Are Different article out there somewhere (the [[Tabletop Game]]/''[[Blue Rose]]'' article at one time linked to both [[Our Elves Are Better]] and Our Elves Are Different). Its own Playing With section describes the basic trope as "A race of different elves are superior to most inferior races." All of this ignores that the trope should simply be about there being different kinds of elves in fiction. |

* [[Overused Running Gag]] is when a work itself acknowledges or lampshades how often it uses a particular gag. It does not mean "gag that I'm personally sick of." |

* [[About/Permanent Red Link Club|Permanent Red Link Club]] usually has people adding every article that was ever cut and locked, even though they may come back in the future. It is supposed to be a list of articles that this wiki ''never'' wants them to come back. |

* [[People Sit on Chairs]] refers to something so basic that it can't even be called a trope. It does not mean "It's all over the place". That is [[Seen It a Million Times]]. |

* [[Platform Hell]] refers to a specific subgenre of games which are specifically designed to punish and frustrate the player as much as possible. Tropers tend to use the phrase to mean "[[Nintendo Hard]] [[The Same but More|BUT MORE!]]". [[Platform Hell]] games are almost exclusively either [[Game Mod|ROM hacks]] or homebrewed games... it's ''extremely'' rare for an official retail product to truly qualify as one of these. |
