When a character presents a hypothetical scenario, then sarcastically says something like "Oh, wait!" and observes that it's actually true. Usually used to present a [[Take That]]. Different from [[That Came Out Wrong]] in that the character knows full well what he said. Has nothing to do with [[Hey, Wait!]].
