View source for Two Words: Obvious Trope/Headscratchers

{{trope}}
* I find that much of the time, it'd be easier just to say what the two words are, and explain it for those who don't find it obvious.
** This troper says the problem with TWOT is a matter of over and misusing. People use it in contexts that they aren't actually obvious. It seems obvious to them, in a way it seems obvious to me what my real name is, but you may never know if I never tell you.
*** I think the primary problem is that people see it done so often they're desperate to do it themselves ... just like the WMG pages are full of "X is a Time Lord" with no explanation, like that by itself was a joke. [[Memetic Mutation]], bandwagon thinking, etc.
*** [[Fan Myopia]] is a BIG contributor to this. Believe it or not, not everyone is so well versed in every single anime character, video game level or sci fi series.
* Wasn't the page previously just named [[Two Words]]? Heck, [[Two Words]] is still a redirect. The whole point of using the trope is to point something out, so the two words in question are [[Irony|obviously]] not obvious to ''someone''. So why say call it obvious?
** Obvious to most is better than obvious to some.
