14	First of all, this page is not about changing one [[XtremeKoolLetterz "xtreme"]] letter to ano'''z'''er letter.
15	----
16	[[foldercontrol]]
17
18	[[folder:X]]
19	* First of all, this folder isn't about [[Website/TwitterX the website where you make posts of 280 characters or less each]].

23	* There is ''x''ero relation between {{Xenafication}} and {{Xenofiction}}
24	* The "X" in XMakesAnythingCool is not meant for you to substitute with anything you'd like. Not everything can make anything cool.

26	** And it doesn't mean that X chills (or heats) anything to just above the freezing temperature of water.

29	** Nor is it {{Shipping}} applied to the alphabet.
30	** It's not an origin story, either.
31	** It is also not a crossover between ''ComicBook/XMen'' and ''ComicBook/YTheLastMan''.

33	** Nor is it a boy being conceived.
34	* [[VideoGame/MegaManX Sigma]] might hold the opinion that XMustNotWin, but "X" is not limited to the protagonist of this game.
35	** Nor is it about people not wanting Twitter to be rebranded as X.
36	* XPacHeat is not what is given off when you burn Sean Waltman to a crisp, though it does describe the feeling of ''wanting'' to burn Sean Waltman to a crisp.
37	** It also has nothing to do with [[RuleThirtyFour Pac-Man porn]].
38	** Neither is it about disliking an ExpansionPack.
39	** And neither does it mean that it's mating season for Sean Waltman.
40	* The XylophoneGag is an old cartoon gag, but it's not the one where a character rams into a piano or xylophone head-first, and, upon looking up, has the instrument's keys sticking out of their mouth as a sort of prop-induced WildTake of pain.
41	** It's also not about shoving a xylophone into someone's mouth to shut them up.

59	* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe is not nearly as relevant to ''Theatre/SweeneyTodd'' as you might think.
60	* {{Yellowface}} should never, ever be mistaken for Yellow Face from ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland''.
61	** It's also not an insult directed to someone from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.
62	** Nor does it have anything to do with jaundice.
63	** Nor does it have anything to do with UsefulNotes/{{emojis}}.
64	** Nor does it refer to [[Literature/WarriorCats Yellowfang]], if she got a different [[MeaningfulRename name]].
65	** Nor does it have to do with Lego.

80	* YouCanAlwaysTellALiar is not about how liars make the best confidants.
81	* YouCanLeaveYourHatOn is not about when some rich person decides guest etiquette is overrated.
82	** It's also not a tactful way to tell someone to PleaseKeepYourHatOn.
83	* YouCantFightFate is regularly disproved on ''Franchise/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', but not because people go around successfully picking fights with the DarkMagicalGirl. Incidentally, these Fate puns are way too easy to make.

85	* YouCantGetYeFlask is not an example of YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe.

94	** Nor is it about attempting to fit the entire contents of the internet onto dvds.
95	* YouKnowWhatTheySayAboutX is not about rumors on the third-to-last letter of the alphabet, rumors about a certain [[VideoGame/MegaManX Maverick Hunter]] nor the [=EgoSoft=] space flight simulator series.
96	* YouLoseAtZeroTrust is not a double negative about excessive naivete.
97	** Nor is it about how your ZeroApprovalGambit failed because for some reason people still like you.
98	** Nor is it about a game where you have to prevent a company called Zero from becoming a monopoly.
99	** Or one where you lose when [[Franchise/MegaMan a blonde, sword-wielding Reploid]] trusts you.
100	* YouNoTakeCandle is not a subtrope of YouCantGetYeFlask where you actually can pick up the item, but doing so triggers every NPC in the area to turn hostile.
101	** While it does involve bad grammar, it's also not specifically someone telling you in bad grammar not to take a candle.
102	* YouPutTheXInXY is unrelated to female genetic material, or by extension someone being InTouchWithHisFeminineSide.
103	** And you would be completely and utterly wrong if you thought it had anything to do with a Music/{{Coldplay}} album or [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Gen VI]] of Franchise/{{Pokemon}}.
104	** It also has absolutely nothing to do with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola hyperbolae]], though the trope does often create hyperbole.
105	* YouRequireMoreVespeneGas is not about [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack tibanna, which would be Bespin gas anyway]].
106	* YourMom is not about an {{Everyman}}'s mom.

108	* YouWannaGetSued is a warning, not an offer.

110	* YourSecretsSafeWithMeSuperman is not what Lois Lane said to ComicBook/{{Superman}} when he told her that he was an alien from outer space.
111	* YourSizeMayVary has nothing to do with any sort of "male enlargement."
112	** Nor should it be confused with SizeShifter.
113	** It isn't a trope for which "[[YMMV/HomePage Your Mileage May Vary]]".
114	* YourTelevisionHatesYou ''isn't'' the equivalent of MyCarHatesMe; that is, it's not about a TV that breaks down when it's needed the most. It's also not to be confused with JustForFun/TelevisionIsTryingToKillUs.
115	* YourVampiresSuck does not necessarily have to do with the way that they feed.
116	* A [[ForumSpeak YouTube War Expert]] is not someone who's very good at decisively winning {{Flame War}}s on Website/YouTube, though your typical example is quite experienced at being in flame wars.
117	* YoungGun is about young people using guns to protect themselves. ''Film/YoungGuns'' is the name of a movie.

Or at the very least, we ''hope'' it isn't... It ''does'', however, occasionally describe some fans of ''The Literature/DirtyPair''. Or even the lead character of ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia''.
127	** Or somebody who's a fan of UsefulNotes/YuriGagarin, the first person in space, though he does have a lot of fans.

139	* A ZergRush has nothing to do with the tactics of the woman who broke Ken Jennings' win streak on ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}''.
140	** Nor [[Franchise/ToyStory Emperor Zurg]].
141	* A ZeroApprovalGambit does not involve getting the favour of [[Anime/CodeGeass the leader of the Black Knights.]]
142	** Nor is it a gambit that none of the higher-ups give permission to use.
143	** It's also not when nobody agrees with [[ComicBook/{{Gambit}} a particular card carrying X-Men]].
144	** Nor is it a gambit where the end goal is getting people to approve of [[VideoGame/MegaManX X's sidekick]].
145	* ZeroEffortBoss is not [[PointyHairedBoss a boss who puts zero effort into his job]].

148	* JustForFun/TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples is not "protecting humanity as a whole trumps obeying the [[ThreeLawsCompliant Three Laws of Robotics]]".
