* [["No. Just... No" Reaction]]: Formerly known merely as No. Just... No, renamed because it was often potholed for when tropers' responses to something were a strong "NO", when it was supposed to refer to ''[[In-Universe]]'' instances of the [[Stock Phrase]] in reaction to a [[Squick|Squicky]] moment.
* [[Punctuated!
* [[Serial Escalation]]: Originally Beyond The Impossible. It got a [[Trope Transplant]] due to massive misuse as a pothole for anything that seemed impossible.
* [[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.
Line 84:
* [[Do Not Want]]: The original name of [[Translation Train Wreck]].
* [[I Am Not Making This Up]]: This trope was nuked for being used and abused as a pothole for things that were hard to believe.
* [[If You Know What I Mean|If You Know What I Mean:]] Deliberate redlink. The former name for [[If You Know What I Mean]].
<!-- %%The colon is potholed to remove the custom title's effect. -->
