I see "whether others interprete the names correctly" as part of the test for a trope, so...

A Side of Poison: Assuming it's about a character commenting on the poison in food in culinary terms (as affecting the taste or being part of recipe),

• Elminster in Hell had a flashback to the good old times when the protagonist already was a semi-divine being, but the elves didn't tire of playing "Defeat Means Friendship" with him yet:

Lady Laurlaethee Shaurlanglar: ...That moonwine you drained oh so elegantly was laced with enough srindym to kill a dozen overambitious human magelings.
Elminster Aumar: Well, that's certainly blunt enough. Being a thirsty beast - and one of course quite devoid of proper manners, I wonder if I might have some more of this excellent wine. I believe the srindym improves it somewhat.

Father of a Thousand Bastards - again, FR:

• Forgotten Realms got the King of Cormyr, Azoun IV, who became rather infamous for this. Quoth his Royal Magician's comment on seeing too many young nobles with familliar features at once - "Moderation, my liege?"

The main reason I didn't explain them is I didn't want to make my page to big, which is pretty silly. I highly doubt anyone is going to get what I was going for with Release Me So I Can Gnaw On Your Bones, so I should probably put a brief description with some of them. I hoped most of them would have an intuitive enough name. A Side of Poison is a poisoned meal along side a container (usually a bottle) clearly labeled as poison being presented with the meal. For example in this music video by the band one eyed doll http://youtu.be/-Gc4e-RQbEs?t=1m41s Something similar happened in the Adams Family (or maybe one of the movies) when the kids sell lemonade, the ingratiates shown are various poisons and a lemon. http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/lZgukWor9Sw/maxresdefault.jpg

Thanks for the father of Bastards example. I was thinking only of travelers for some reason like Julio Scoundrél. I read from a second hand source that Elminster (who I assume is a traveler) also qualifies. I was thinking too narrow though.
