[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|As the title implies]], this index is for pages that have been subject to [[Memetic Mutation|memetic]] [[Pothole|potholing]]. This has a tendency to happen to [[trope]]s that have a [[Stock Phrase]] as their title, but it can happen to other tropes as well.
Line 5:
See also: [[Overdosed Tropes]], [[Tropes of Legend]].
{{examples}}
* [[And I Must Scream]]
* [[And That's Terrible]]
Line 79:
* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: Formerly known as I Got Better. The old name attracted a lot of misuse as a pothole for people or things "getting better" in general.
* [[Zero Context Example]]: Formerly known as X, Just...X, after a common format associated with this type of example. This, however, had the unfortunate side effect of having tropers ''potholing'' these examples to the page, despite the fact that [[Comically Missing the Point|the article's very purpose was to discourage them]]. This led to the article being deliberately redlinked, and later, renamed.
