Metasyntactic Variable: Difference between revisions

* All The Tropes (and [[TV Tropes]] before us) has a history of using the word "trope" as a Metasyntactic Variable in trope names, such as [[The Trope Kid]], [[Disney Owns This Trope]] and [[The Von Trope Family]]. TVT began discouraging this practice long before the fork leading to ATT took place, and many such names were later replaced, but we still have a dozen or so lurking about, and have even added a couple of our own, such as [[Tropacabana]].

** We also have the trope [[Foo Fu]], where "Foo" is the classic programmer's Metasyntactic Variable, standing for any mundane item or skill which could be used in some awesome, often combat-related, way.
