At some point in one's life, they will come across many different people with views, thoughts, and beliefs than their own, especially if they live in a [[The Verse|universe]] where there are [[Aliens and Monsters|aliens, monsters,]] fairies, [[Noble Demon|demons]], [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampires|vampires]], or what have you co-existing with humans; in fact, it doesn't even have to be beings from a different species in order for you come across someone different, considering that each and every human is unique.
As a result, that person will come across someone he/she loathes with absolute intensity (i.e. [[The Rival]], [[Alpha Bitch]], [[Big Bad]], [[Anti-Hero]], etc.) or someone he/she loves/admires so much that they'd sacrifice anything just to please them (i.e. [[Big Brother Mentor]], [[Love Interest]], etc.). But how do they go about describing this person they hate/like? Not any old compliment/insult will do.
Therefore, the person must describe them as the ''epitome'' of the trait that they loathe/admire. Thus, they say "Bob, you put the X in XY". X is the adjective used to describe said trait and XY is the noun of X. For example, one could say, "You put the stupid in stupidity".
There's also the related "you can't have XY without X" phrase, for example, "You can't have consensual without sensual."
