* At the end of ''[[Red Garden]],'' the villain tells the main characters that he isn't killing them, he's destroying them; since they're already dead, it [[What Measure Is a Non Human|doesn't count as killing]].

* At the end of ''[[Red Garden]],'' the villain tells the main characters that he isn't killing them, he's destroying them; since they're already dead, it [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|doesn't count as killing]].

* ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'', Tomo loses to Sakaki in a footrace, and shouts that she's not the loser, but the runner-up.

* Used and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As]]'' during the battle between [[Petting Zoo People|Arf and Zafila]].

Line 46:

* From the ''[[Don Rosa]]'' story "The Billionaire of Dismal Downs":

{{quote| '''Fergus:''' Oh, dear - my son is as crazy as a loon!<br />

'''Hortense:''' ''[[Screw the Rules I Have Money|Poor]]'' [[Screw the Rules I Have Money|people are crazy, papa! Rich people are]] ''[[Screw the Rules I Have Money|eccentric]]''!<br />

'''Hortense:''' ''[[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|Poor]]'' [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|people are crazy, papa! Rich people are]] ''[[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|eccentric]]''!<br />

'''Matilda:''' Scroogey's as eccentric as a loon! }}

* Devin Grayson stated that [[Nightwing]]'s... unfortunate encounter with Tarantula "wasn't rape, just nonconsensual" - a feat roughly on par with saying "not the ocean, just a really big sea."

Line 84:

* In ''[[Rat Race]]'' the rich gambler orchestrating the titular race (John Cleese played him) is "too rich to be crazy. I'm 'eccentric!'"

* In ''[[Spaceballs (Film)|Spaceballs]]'', the protagonists Lone Starr and Barf need '1 million spacebucks' to get out of a debt with a creature called 'Pizza the Hutt' in a situation clearly meant to mirror Han Solo and Chewbacca's within ''[[Star Wars]]''. After being given a mission to rescue a king's daughter and successfully demanding that price, Barf is afraid by how they are risking their lives for money. Lone Starr replies:

{{quote| '''Lone Starr:''' Barf, we're not [[Only in It For The Money|just doing this for money]]. (beat) We're doing it for a ''[[Precision F Strike|shitload]]'' of money!}}

{{quote| '''Lone Starr:''' Barf, we're not [[Only in It For The Money|just doing this for money]]. (beat) We're doing it for a ''[[Precision F-Strike|shitload]]'' of money!}}

** Before that, they were hesitant to accept the mission:

{{quote| '''Barf:''' Look, Your Highness, it's not that we're afraid-- far from it! It's just that we've got this thing about death. It's... not us.}}

Line 321:

** Because of Japanese linguistic conventions, the word "pirate" refers to one who is not in a Navy and not a fisherman - so it can also refer to people who claim salvage and seafaring (or skyfaring in this case) Treasure Hunters. Although he may be a thief as well, in Japanese media you can't assume Thief = Pirate.

** Similarly, in ''[[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VI]]'', Locke insists, "I'm not a thief, I'm a treasure hunter!"

* [[Lord Error Prone|Yuan Shao]] in ''[[Dynasty Warriors]] 5'': "This is not a retreat! Rather, a move for my future!"

* [[Lord Error-Prone|Yuan Shao]] in ''[[Dynasty Warriors]] 5'': "This is not a retreat! Rather, a move for my future!"

* Used in the PC adventure game ''The Dagger of Amon Ra'':

{{quote| "Kill is such an ugly word. Actually, we're going to [[Human Sacrifice|sacrifice]] you to Amon Ra!"}}

Line 438:

* After losing to the Americans in a sporting event (not the Olympics) the Soviet media (supposedly) claimed that they had come in second, while the US came in second to last. Which is all totally true...since the event only had two nations competing: The U.S. and the Soviets.

* Such a common way of speaking there was a book about racism named (in Finnish) after the phrase: "I'm not racist, ''but''..." (Alternative: "I'm not racist, I just...") There are legitimate ways of continuing at least the latter sentence, of course, but the usual use falls under this trope.

*** The other one is "I have black/gay/Jewish/white/Asian/insert minority to taste friends..."

* There is a "game" called Conjugation, which works like the "irregularly declining" words noted in the [[Yes Minister]] example above. I'm liberal, you're radical, he's a bomb-throwing anarchist; I'm cautious, you're conservative, he's puritanical.
