* Here lies '''Bikini Bar''' -- Censored in favor of a FamilyFriendlyStripper. [[note]]Deemed to be the same trope from a slightly different angle.[[/note]]

This Epitaph fits better with an additional word added in.


* Here lies '''An Aesop''' -- The real lesson was [[ItsTheJourneyThatCounts the friends we made along the way]].[[note]]One of the worst ZCE magnets in the history of the wiki. Tropers kept shoehorning this trope in episode recaps and work pages without abandon. Many examples simply devolved into tropers guessing the theme of the lesson regardless or not if it was explicitly expressed InUniverse within the work, causing major violations of adding {{fanon}} interpretations. This led to many wicks being [=ZCEs=] consisting of Literature/AesopsFables styled ending messages that were almost certainly out of place with the rest of the work. It was turned into a definition-only supertrope with almost all wicks being gutted. The description was also rewritten to explicitly state that it is specifically about moral lessons rather than Aesop's Fables-themed messages and attribute its possible YMMV status shared by some of its subtropes.[[/note]]

Already under "Disambiguated Tropes" on the main JFF page. I do think the note is clearer, though.


* Here lies '''Kick the Son of a Bitch''' -- [[MuggingTheMonster Kicked the wrong SOB]] and got kicked out.[[note]]A Administrivia/BadSnowclone of KickTheDog that was massively misused for PayEvilUntoEvil and whose definition was indistinguishable from KarmicDeath and AssholeVictim.

* Here lies '''Dramatic Dangling''' - [[Music/JimiHendrix The wind whispered]] "no accessories".[[note]]Was intended to be a SuperTrope to tropes like ScarfOfAsskicking and CapeWings, but in practice it was little more than [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs chairs on coat racks]], in addition to not thriving.[[/note]]

Adding an explanation to Retakers. Also, epitaphs should be gender neutral unless the trope is gendered.

Seeing as several epitaphs listed here were for tropes that were declared definition-only, I think this fits here. This could be discussed further in a forum, because I'm still not sure if we are watching for these.

That goes on renamed tropes, since it was renamed to Not If They Enjoyed It Rationalization. Also that epitaph is a little... questionable, to put it mildly. Best to not make light of sexual assault like that.

All Epitaphs require an explanation for being cut. Had to guess for this one because the search function couldn't find the TRS post for this cut entry in the Repair Shop Morgue. If a better explanation is found, please edit it in.
