* MoeMoe is not about a [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender flying lemur]].
** Nor is it a mispelled command to hastily cut grass.

* A MomentOfWeakness is not an example of CutsceneIncompetence, or at least not usually.
* MonochromeCasting should not be confused with the desaturation of colour in early movies and TV shows (and is [[DeliberatelyMonochrome still occasionally done today, for artistic reasons]]), even though '50s sitcoms were typically ''both''.

** Nor does it have anything to do with the co-hosts of ''Radio/TheStephanieMillerShow''.

* The MostCommonSuperPower is not the ubiquitous combination of [[FlyingBrick super strength, super speed, flight and nigh invulnerability]]. (You'd be forgiven for thinking it is, though.)
* [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame The Most Dangerous Game]] is not [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1488#comic Dynamite-Bear-Tennis]].
** Simply thinking about it will not put you in peril.
* SugarWiki/MostTriumphantExample is not an example written by [[BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure Bill and Ted]]. That would be most excellent, however.

* [[WatchItForTheMeme Must Seek Leek]] ''could'' be about watching ''[[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Henry V]]'' for the "eat my leek" line, but that's not what it's named for. Nor is it about [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Farfetch'd]] desperately searching for a weapon. Nor is it when a chef is missing an ingredient for his or her soup.

* MyGirlIsNotASlut is not an author's attempt to make a female character less {{Stripperiffic}}.
* MyHeroZero is not a trope about [[FanOfUnderdog someone who perceives a feeble, klutzy zero to be a steeled, gutsy hero]]. Nor is it about TheHero losing badly at sports. And although somewhat related, it is not about being rescued from certain death at the hands of [[VideoGame/MegaManX Vile]], [[Anime/CodeGeass the Britannian Empire]] or [[Manga/PilotCandidate Zero Enna]] either.
** While we're on the subject, it has nothing to do with ''SchoolhouseRock'' or prequels to ''Series/MyHero'', either.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:N]]
* {{Nanomachines}} are not typical implements used by [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Nanoha]]. Those would be {{Magic Wand}}s and {{Attack Drone}}s.

** NearDeathExperience is not [[spoiler:The 40 seconds Near waited to see Light and Mikami fail in killing them.]]
*** It's not about gaining ExperiencePoints from killing Near, either.
** As for NearRapeExperience, we're not going to [[{{Squick}} go on that subject]].

** [[MemeticBadass Wherever the hell it wants!]]

* NightmareFuel is not [[IncrediblyLamePun fuel for]] [[Anime/CodeGeass Knightmare Frames]].
** The "Nightmare Fuel" trope itself has had numerous problems in the past, because it wasn't obvious by its name that it meant ''unintentional'' nightmare fuel.

* NintendoHard is not about getting a hard-on while playing Nintendo games. Nor is it about how Nintendo's products were [[TonkaTough physically durable]].
* NipponIchi is not about [[FatalFury Mai Shiranui]] or her [[{{Gainaxing}} most valuable pair]]. Or Japan being itchy.
** It's not "Me Bouncy!", by the way.
* NobodyCanDie is not an alternate name for DeathTakesAHoliday (the former describes settings wherein people ''should'' die, they just never seem to, while the latter describes situations in which nobody can die for good, in-universe reasons.)

** Nor is s/he employed by McDonalds.
** And unless the story takes place in the wackiest AlternateHistory universe possible, a McNinja will not explicitly be a member of an [[{{Scotireland}} anciant clan of Scottish and/or Irish contract assassins]].
** And s/he will know ''real'' ninjutsu, not the alleged version taught at a [[UsefulNotes/MartialArtsBelts McDojo]].

** Of course. [[VillainsNeverLie Why would we lie to you]]?
* MeatOVision is not how burger ads are filmed.
** Nor is it a new set of goggles made to find cattle.
*** That would explain why [[TheGogglesDoNothing they do nothing]].
** And it is also not about how Fuminori in ''Saya no Uta'' sees everything as made of rancid flesh, bones, and blood.
* MeddlingParents don't need to [[YouMeddlingKids get away with it]], [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin and they certainly won't let you, either]].

** Not is about becoming extremely manly.
*** Yes, [[TestosteronePoisoning We]] [[RatedMForManly have]] [[TookALevelInBadass tropes]] [[MemeticBadass enough]] as it is.
* {{Meganekko}} is not about huge cats. That would be MegaNeko, which is, in turn, not about pretty girls who just wouldn't be the same without their glasses. (And neither of those has anything to do with the character "Big Pussy" from ''Series/TheSopranos''.)

* MetroSpecificUnderworld has little if anything to do with [[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Shibuya's UG]]. It is also not where old Geos go to die. Nor is it a land of the dead [[AfterlifeExpress only accessible by public transportation]]. Nor is it where [[{{Transformers}} Metroplex]] will go when he dies. Nor does it have anything to do with ''MagicKnightRayearth'' character [[ThemeNaming Geo Metro]]. Nor is it about a hell focused on fashion trends. ''Literature/{{Neverwhere}}'' is right out.

* MoeMoe is not about a [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender flying lemur]].
** Nor is it a mispelled command to hastily cut grass.

** Simply thinking about it will not put you in peril.

* MoustacheDePlume is not about drawing moustaches on pictures of people as vandalism.

And although somewhat related, it is not about being rescued from certain death at the hands of [[VideoGame/MegaManX Vile]], [[Anime/CodeGeass the Britannian Empire]] or [[Manga/PilotCandidate Zero Enna]] either.
** While we're on the subject, it has nothing to do with ''SchoolhouseRock'' or prequels to ''Series/MyHero'', either.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:N]]
* {{Nanomachines}} are not typical implements used by [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Nanoha]]. Those would be {{Magic Wand}}s and {{Attack Drone}}s.

*** It's not about gaining ExperiencePoints from killing Near, either.
** As for NearRapeExperience, we're not going to [[{{Squick}} go on that subject]].
* NecessaryWeasel does not mean that every work of fiction ever made absolutely must have a WeaselMascot.
** And it most especially does not describe [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendofKorra Paboo]] or [[Franchise/{{Naruto}} Nerugui]] or their importance to their respective properties' plots.

* NightmareFuel is not [[IncrediblyLamePun fuel for]] [[Anime/CodeGeass Knightmare Frames]].
** The "Nightmare Fuel" trope itself has had numerous problems in the past, because it wasn't obvious by its name that it meant ''unintentional'' nightmare fuel.

* NintendoHard is not about getting a hard-on while playing Nintendo games. Nor is it about how Nintendo's products were [[TonkaTough physically durable]].

** It's not "Me Bouncy!", by the way.
* NobodyCanDie is not an alternate name for DeathTakesAHoliday (the former describes settings wherein people ''should'' die, they just never seem to, while the latter describes situations in which nobody can die for good, in-universe reasons.)

* NoDoubtTheYearsHaveChangedMe is not about any changes Music/NoDoubt has made to you over the years.
* NoEnding is not when a fictional work ends with a BigNo.
* NoFairCheating is rarely invoked when you are TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty.
