your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore"''.



* ''TheMikado'' by Gilbert and Sullivan had the air "if someday it should happen" aka "I've Got A Little List", which lists all the kinds of people who can be executed without public protest.

->All the animals come out at night -- whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.
-->- Travis Bickle, from ''TaxiDriver.''

This is when a character; or group of characters; gives a list of categories of people they consider degenerates, often in the context of describing something similar about them. Due to the often judgmental tone associated with this, sometimes it's used to indicate that the character listing these is a KnightTemplar; other times, a good character may use this kind of a list as part of a GoodIsNotNice characterization.

Often this has fairly specific examples earlier in the list but ends with a more general one; alternatively, this may follow an ArsonMurderAndJaywalking pattern.
