* 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]]'', Tomo loses to Sakaki in a footrace, and shouts that she's not the loser, but the runner-up.

'''Zafila:''' In Belka space, we don't call the beasts that serve their masters "familiars"! We call them their fangs and shields! We're Guardian Beasts!

'''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]]''!
'''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 64:
{{quote|'''Robin Hood:''' Rob? Tch tch. That's a naughty word, we never rob. We just... Sort of borrow a bit from those who can afford it.
'''Little John:''' Borrow? Heh. Boy, are we in debt. }}
* From ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'': "That wasn't flying. It was falling with style!"
Line 117:
** [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|I'd like to confuse bok choi with cabbage, Sir!]]
* ''[[Flash Gordon (film)|Flash Gordon]]'': After Flash defeats Prince Barin in a duel, but shows him mercy, the following exchange occurs:
{{quote|'''[[Brian Blessed|Prince Vultan]]''': What is this?
'''Dr. Zarkov''': Humanity.
'''Vultan''': Madness! }}
* [[Spider-Man]] the first movie.
Line 133:
** At this point, his shouting has vibrated the candlestick from its perch above the doorway he's standing in and clocked him on the head.
* ''[[Tomorrow Never Dies]]''
{{quote|'''[[James Bond (film)|James Bond]]''' (to megalomaniac Carver): Hmm... You're insane.
'''Carver''': The difference between genius and insanity is measured only by success. }}
* ''[[Kingdom of Heaven]]'':
Line 166:
## Capital-A Assassins are ''never'' "employed". They are commissioned, engaged, retained, contracted.
** It's not necromancy, it's Post-Mortem Communication. Necromancy is a very bad form of magic, done only by evil wizards. Since we are not evil wizards, what we are doing cannot possibly be called necromancy.
* ''[[Ciaphas Cain]]'' has an interesting take on this. Usually the reword puts someone in a better light. He, on the other hand, spends hundreds of pages explaining in detail how he is ''not'' a hero, that he doesn't charge the enemy, he's really retreating through them; that saving people's lives is not selfless because in the long run it ensures his survival. You can bet each one of his stories has hundreds of these rewordings; being the ''[[Warhammer

'''Dalek:''' No. Extermination. }}
** The same line is used, in a different context, in the audio book ''Pest Control''.
*** It was ''[[The War of the Worlds (novel)|The War of the Worlds]]'' (the most recent movie version with [[Tom Cruise]]) that gave us "this isn't a war: it's an extermination". Something similar happens in ''[[Independence Day]]''. Essentially, any time a bunch of [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] arrive to wreck up the place someone feels the need to say this.
** Of course, Sec is saying that he would not dignify what is about to happen with the name "war"; one does not make war on vermin...
** The Sontarans got their own version in series 4:

'''Inara:''' I didn't mean petty.
'''Mal:''' What did you mean?
'''Inara:''' ...Suo-shee?
'''Mal:''' [[Bilingual Backfire|That's Chinese for "petty".]] }}
** Another ''[[Firefly]]'' example, from "Objects In Space":
Line 242:
* Rigel from ''[[Farscape]]'' insisted that he never retreats, but "strategically maneuvers".
** When once accused of "snurching"(Farscape-ese for stealing) he responds "I don't snurch, I... ''procure''."

Line 408:
* In ''[[Dan Vs.]]'' "The Bank," Dan reassures Chris that they won't go to jail for robbing the bank. Prison, probably, but not jail.
* An episode of ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' gives us this little exchange:
