Line 126:
* [[Bragging Rights Reward]]: Too many to name, but anything where the only award is immediately consumed or is an unusable certificate or trophy (or worse, the temporary acclaim of one's current peers.)
* [[Brainwashed]]: Rare, but it can happen, though [[Tropes Examined by the Mythbusters|NOT by hypnosis or subliminal suggestion]]. (See [[More Than Mind Control]] below for how it does.) Ongoing situations of [[Domestic Abuse]] and other forms of abuse and exploitation tend to have some element of this.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: [[Nazi Germany]]. [[Useful Notes/North Korea|North Korea]]. Cults that attack, perpetrate crimes against, sue people in the outside world, or commit mass suicide. Abused spouses or family members that (sometimes violently) defend their abusers. Often specific to charismatic cults centred around an individual and or specific set of beliefs (including atheistic, religious, and political). These cults can control whole countries but are usually very small and insular. Usually far too self-destructive, insular, unstable, and paranoid to survive long.
* [[Briefcase Blaster]]: Heckler and Koch makes a special briefcase for their [[MP 5 K]]. [http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c70c0f2ba0 Here's a video.]
* [[British Stuffiness]]: (see [[National Stereotypes]]) Brits are more private and reserved with people other than their close friends than Americans are, but this should not be interpreted as being arrogance; likewise the reverse with American bluster.
Line 639:
* [[Transparent Closet]]: Sometimes those of us who are LGBTQIA are the last to know for real. Other times, we just don't really care about creating a "closet" or have been lucky enough to have lived in a situation that has never imposed or demanded one.
* [[Trash of the Titans]]: As you can see in [http://www.squalorsurvivors.com/ this site]. It's called Collyer Bros Syndrome.
* [[Trigger]]: Almost everyone has them in some form. Some far, far more distressing than others. See it's [[Trigger/Useful Notes/Trigger|Useful Notes]] page for details.
* [[Trigger Happy]]: The reason a lot of shootings (whether by police or civilians) happen. Especially if one feels as if one is in mortal danger, it is an instinct borne of paranoia that can be ''very difficult'' to override.
* [[Troll]]: An undeniable [[Truth in Television|Truth In New Media]]. If you spend any amount of time on the internet, you will see them, and you will likely interact with some even if it's just trying to banhammer them or keep them out - or you may be one yourself.
