Line 1: {{~~work~~trope}} [[I Thought It Meant\|Just to clarify]]: Line 8: ** It's [[Suspiciously Specific Denial\|not about an]] [[Alternate Character Interpretation\|elaborate plot to trap a group of people on an island permanently]] either. * [[Gambit Roulette\|Xanatos Roulette]] is not a casino owned by that character in ''[[Gargoyles]]''. * [["X" Makes Anything Cool]] is about the letter X. It is nothing like [[Everything's Better with Indexes]]. It also isn't a subtrope of [[Watch It Stoned]]. * [[X Meets Y]] is not a more flexible version of [[Boy Meets Girl]]. Nor is it [[Shipping]] applied to the alphabet. It's not an [[Incredibly Lame Pun\|origin story]] about fertilization of an egg, either. ** It is also not a crossover between ''[[X-~~men~~Men]]'' and ''[[Y:~~the~~ ~~last~~The ~~man~~Last Man]]''. * [[X -Pac Heat]] is not what is given off when you burn Sean Waltman to a crisp, though it does describe the feeling of ''wanting'' to burn Sean Waltman to a crisp. It also has nothing to do with [[Rule 34\|Pac-Man porn]]. Neither is it about disliking an [[Expansion Pack]]. * ''[[XxxHolic]]'' is not about an addiction to porn. * The [[Xylophone Gag]] is an old cartoon gag, but it's not the one where a character rams into a piano or xylophone head-first, and, upon looking up, has the instrument's keys sticking out of their mouth as a sort of prop-induced [[Wild Take]] of pain. == Y == Line 27 ⟶ 25: ** It's not [[CSI: Miami\|an]] [[The Who\|appropriate]] [[Memetic Mutation\|response]] to a [[Quip to Black]]. * [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]] is not nearly as relevant to ''[[Sweeney Todd]]'' as you might think. * A [[Yin-Yang Bomb]] is not what the Chinese use to fight [[Mighty Whitey~~\|Mighty Whiteys~~]]s, [[Scary Black Man\|Scary Black Men]] and... Oh dear, [[Unfortunate Implications]] anyone? * [[YKTTW]] is not a rival site to [[YTMND]].com. You might be looking for PTKFGS instead. * [[Yoko Oh No]] is not the sound you make when Yoko from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' {{spoiler\|kisses someone, and the recipient dies a very, very manly death at episode's climax}}. ** Or the reaction when [[Castlevania\|Graham Jones stabs her]]. * [[You Bastard]] is not one of the [[Insult Tropes]]. ** It's also not about [[~~South~~They ~~Park~~Killed Kenny Again\|whoever killed Kenny.]] * [[You Can't Fight Fate]] is regularly disproved on ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', but not because people go around successfully picking fights with the [[Dark Magical Girl]]. Incidentally, these Fate puns are way too easy to make. ** If you're [[Mahou Sensei Negima\|Negi Springfield]] on the other hand... good luck. Line 54 ⟶ 52: * [[Your Vampires Suck]] does not nescesarily have to do with the way that they feed. * [[Young Gun]] is about young people using guns to protect themselves, Young Guns is the name of a movie. * [[Yo -Yo Plot Point]] is not about the author stopping to greet the viewer to remind him/her about plot points. * [[Yuri Fanboy]] is not in any way related to the villain from ''[[Command ~~and~~& Conquer: Red Alert 2]]'', the hero from ''[[Shadow Hearts]]'', the guy who spends half of ''[[Planetes]]'' looking for a compass, the voice actor that plays [[Naruto\|Sasuke]] and [[Code Geass\|Suzaku]] in English, the male lead of ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles]]: Ring of Fates'', or the titular doctor in ''[[Doctor Zhivago]]''. Or at the very least, we ''hope'' it isn't... It ''does'', however, occasionally describe some fans of ''The [[Dirty Pair]]''. Or even the lead character of [[Tales of Vesperia]]. ** Or somebody who's a fan of [[Yuri Gagarin]], the first person in space, though he does have a lot of fans. == Z == Line 63 ⟶ 60: * A [[Zerg Rush]] has nothing to do with the tactics of the woman who broke Ken Jennings' win streak on ''[[Jeopardy!]]''. * [[Zero-G Spot]] is not a woman lacking one. Nor is it proof that a particular ''[[Mega Man X]]'' character is actually a girl. * The [[Zeroth Law]] is not "protecting humanity as a whole trumps obeying the [["Three Laws "-Compliant\|Three Laws of Robotics]]". Conversely, a [[Zeroth Law Rebellion]] does not involve going back in time and writing something that becomes the [[Trope Codifier]] for a trope Shakespeare currently codified. {{reflist}} ~~[[Category:~~{{I Thought It Meant]]}} [[Category:~~X-Z~~{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Split Trope Lists]]
