Line 200:
* [[No Dialogue Episode]]: Used sparingly but effectively in [http://wordwearycomic.blogspot.com/2011/11/29-november-2011.html this issue] and [http://wordwearycomic.blogspot.com/2011/09/3-september-2011.html this one.]
* [[No Social Skills]]: John is constantly referring to his inability to talk with girls (except, apparently, for Lillith and Elly). Jason and Yorick managed to get the group kicked out of a restaurant.
* [[Not Good Withwith People]]: Jason and Yorick.
* [[Not Good Withwith Rejection]]: Grace is visibly angry after {{spoiler|Poor Trotmann rejects her offer for a date.}}
* [[Nothing Is the Same Anymore]]: The author flat out stated in his About section that he is willing to make major changes to the characters.
* [[Not Making This Up Disclaimer]]: John has said in many newsposts that much of the content in the comic is based on real life... even when he ordered pizza in the guise of a Dungeons and Dragons character.
Line 228:
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** Many of the comics' titles have their names taken from songs. Another is lifted from a William Faulkner novel.
** Chris mentions employees named [[Questionable Content|Jeph]], [[Girls Withwith Slingshots|Danielle]] and [[Something Positive|Randy]] and says they work more than Grace does and manage to be on time. (See [[Lampshade Hanging]] above.)
* [[Shown Their Work]]: The panels that take place in St. Petersberg are all photos of the city.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]:
Line 241:
** ''Inverted:'' Poor Trotmann is the opposite of cool and he smokes hookah at the lounge in which John works.
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: The characters are all pretty fucking articulate.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: When Poor Trotmann is introduced, he's staring longingly at a picture of Lillith. Later he {{spoiler|tells John she has a boyfriend even though she doesn't.}}
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: ''Inverted.'' It's a stick figure comic (the female characters' breasts are... interesting) but when the characters are playing D&D, the monsters and villains are drawn more realistically.
** In the comic in which John apologizes for missing [http://wordwearycomic.blogspot.com/2012/04/so-jason-sam-yorick-i-spent-last-two.html two weeks of updates], the monsters again show a level of sophistication that doesn't appear in the comic proper.
Line 277:
* [[You Are Not Alone]]: Judging by one of the [http://wordwearycomic.blogspot.com/2011/07/12-july-2011.html comments the author left in response] to a fan who took the comic's themes of loneliness and alienation to heart, John Kossler views his entire comic as one reminder to people that he too feels alone and alienated but finds humor in his situation. YMMV on how effective he is at this.
* [[You Need to Get Laid]]: Jason on why John shouldn't pursue Lillith just as a friend.
* [[You Wake Up in Aa Room]]: John wakes from the night of heavy drinking with no clue how he got there.
