* A LampshadeHanging was originally supposed to mean when a trope is pointed out in an attempt to hide or excuse it (i.e., please don't look at this trope). Instead, this has come to mean, "Any trope that is acknowledged or pointed out by one or more characters as it's occurring, in any manner or context whatsoever." That would be DiscussedTrope instead. It has gotten to the point that the entire wiki is considered to be nothing but hanging lampshades one after another when it's really ConversationalTroping instead. Another misuse is saying that a parody or review of a work "lampshades" an example within that work -- lampshading can only be done by the work itself.

* NintendoHard is about games that are incredibly, ridiculously hard. Many tropers like to attach the label to any even remotely challenging or frustrating game, even if it isn't anywhere near as difficult as the insanely difficult [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] games that gave the trope its name. Others like to use it to shoehorn examples of ThatOneLevel, [[ThatOneBoss Boss]], [[ThatOneIndex etc.]], on games' main pages; the trope is about games that are uniformly hard, not just one part of a particular game.
