Line 29:
* [[Screw This Index, I Have Tropes|Screw X I have Y]]: This is pretty much [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], and as such it works very well (e.g. [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]). The problem starts when the X and the Y mutate into metaphors and it's not entirely clear anymore what is being screwed, for what reason, in what sense does the person doing the screwing "have" the Y and what part the Y plays in the screwing of the X. Usually at that point it becomes clear that the trope is being shoehorned into a snowclone and you should start looking for a better title.
* [[
* X Effect: When it's not about status, sound or special effects, it is often hard to search for the trope when X is a work or a character. It can also be that there are many traits that the X has which do not fit the trope. Several formerly X Effect tropes have already been [[Renamed Tropes|renamed]].
