* OddlyCommonRarity isn't about the number of times [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rarity]] shows up in an episode.
** Nor is it about opening blister packs for a collectible card game and finding many of the same (supposedly) rare card.

* OhGodWithTheVerbing is not a prayer to the God of Verbs.

* OnlyInAmerica is not about works that are only available in the US. That would be NoExportForYou.
* OnlySixFaces is not a trope about cubes. Or even {{crate|Expectations}}s. No, not dice, either. For that matter, it's also not about a character who has way too many alternate identities.
** Nor is it an insult used by hydras.
* OnlyShopInTown is not an order commanding you to limit your shopping to urban outlets.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness is not about the InternetBackdraft that occurs when a FanFic writer portrays a character differently from canon.
* OpenTheIris is not an order to lower the Series/{{Stargate|SG1}}'s defenses to allow travelers into Stargate Command, nor about doing naughty things to [[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/f/fe/Young_Iris.png a]] [[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/e/eb/Black_White_Iris.png girl]] [[http://images.wikia.com/megaman/images/7/7a/IrisX4.jpg named]] [[http://images.wikia.com/megaman/images/8/8e/BN6_Iris.jpg Iris]].

*** Likewise {{OSS}} does not stand for [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Operate]] [[VideoGame/MegaManStarForce Shooting Star]]. (Or open-source software.)

It's also not when there is more than one [[ConsoleRPGCliches121To144 Ominous Ring of Land]], or a [[TheRing deadly videotape]]. And we know you feel clever for thinking back to that moment in the mid-nineties where you finally reached Knuckles's final boss in ''[[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sonic & Knuckles]]'' and he started firing deadly rings at you, and you're getting warmer, but no, that's still not quite it.

* The RuleOfPool isn't [[BadGuysPlayPool that bad guys play it.]] Nor is it an actual rule in the game of pool, or a rule governing conduct at a swimming pool.
* RuleOfThree isn't about putting a PowerTrio or TerribleTrio in charge.
* RunningTheAsylum Isn't literally about being in charge of managing an asylum.
** Nor is it about the people who run TheAsylum.
* RunOrDie is not a LeParkour game from the makers of the [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA Sports]] skateboard game ''VideoGame/SkateOrDie''.
** Or an anime about a [[Anime/ReadOrDie paper-bending retired schoolteacher]] seeking public office.
** Or the flip side of the "Vote or Die" campaign aimed at disinterested potential candidates.
* RushBoss is not that happens when [[MegaManClassic Dr. Wily]] reprograms him [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/IThoughtItMeant/A-C either]].
* A RussianReversal is not a ProWrestling move.
