Line 14:
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]] (also known as [[Crowning Music of Awesome]])
* [[Better Than It Sounds]]: Frequently potholed as a way of saying that a work is better than what a short summary of its premise would lead one to believe. This is bad because not only is it [[Gushing About Shows You Like (Sugar Wiki)|Gushing About Shows You Like]], it's misuse because the page itself is a [[Just for Fun]] game where tropers come up with summaries of works that make them sound worse than they actually are.
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: Used to indicate or exaggerate how "awesome" or "insane" something is. Given that the original definition was "escalating within a series" one could say it [[Gone Horribly Right|succeeded in a horrific way]]. That plus confusion with [[Up to Eleven]] led to a
* [[Big No]]
* [[Blatant Lies]]: This article is [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|absolutely, positively,

* [[Serial Escalation]]: Originally Beyond The Impossible. It got a
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Originally Incredibly Lazy Pun. The old name saw a lot of misuse as a generic pun pothole, resulting in the trope being renamed and the old name being permanently redlinked.
* [[Translation Train Wreck]]: Formerly known as Do Not Want. The article was cut and moved due to pothole misuse for things tropers found [[squick]]y.
