When two or more existing tropes are combined (via addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.) to make a different but somehow related trope.

Compare Rebus Bubble, X Meets Y, and Mix and Match.

Some of the basic building blocks for trope equations:
+ = "and", "with"
| = "or"
- = "not", "without"
x = "is"

This list is alphabetized by the end result. Please put new tropes in the appropriate spot.

Examples of Troperithmetic include:
  1. Oh, come on. Like you didn't see that one coming.
  2. This is true despite the clear violation of Fermats Last Theorem.
