[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As the title implies]], this index is for pages that have been subject to [[MemeticMutation memetic]] [[PotHole potholing]]. This has a tendency to happen to {{trope}}s that have a StockPhrase as their title -- hence [[Administrivia/NoNewStockPhrases the ban on new Stock Phrases]] -- but it can happen to other tropes as well.

* TakeAThirdOption: Do people pothole this trope as an out-of-universe speculation of something ambiguous within the narrative, or do they use it when some other trope like CuttingTheKnot would be more appropriate? ''[[TakeAThirdOption Or]]'' is it a combination of both?[[note]]LoopholeAbuse, which has more direct correlation with this trope, tends to get (correctly) used as a dialogue trope or visual gag, though the only ''index'' they share can be found [[ScrewTheRulesTheyreNotReal here.]][[/note]]

* BeyondTheImpossible: Used to indicate or exaggerate how "awesome" or "insane" something is. Given that the original definition was "escalating within a series" one could say it [[GoneHorriblyRight succeeded in a horrific way]]. That plus confusion with UpToEleven led to a Administrivia/TropeTransplant. The name is now used to refer to events that break internal logic. A wiki clean up removed ''six thousand'' instances of misuse and brought the total count below 400. Months later it was still being used the same way but at a smaller rate.
