*smacks CT for linking to TVTropes*
The above smack is a clear example of Whack A Mole with a subtext of Didn't Feel It. Such a trope involves a Hokey Pokey expressing their Extreme Wacky through physical expression of Konk The Horn. Trope may involve Jumping The Moon or Singing Sinatra Tunes In A Helium Voice.
The point is that the vast majority of their article titles are self-referential bull**** that invite you to click to know what the @++% they are talking about. That link references a trope name that makes sense, anvilicious, which actually is a rather intuitive and catchy word, totally missing the point of what I said (and the quoted post they copied there), that much of their supposed addictiveness is driven by horrible article naming control. If more of them used names like anvilicious, the site would be much less annoying but probably drop in page clicks per viewer.
Reading TVTropes is quite a lot like reading the manual to a Linux based program, a pointless exercise in decoding the intentionally obfuscated jargon of a subculture that thrives upon being insular.
I never found the link names that confusing personally, but then again the TVTropes links really weren't what I wanted the discussion in this topic to center around.
*sigh* Oh well, can you give me an example of a confusing article page, then, Vector-kun?
Oh god, TVTropes. I can spend literally hours on that site. It's like a
black hole of reading and link clicking...
