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]]. |
20 | * XanatosGambit is not about the real name of one of the ComicBook/XMen. |
21 | * XanatosSpeedChess is not about a game of chess that goes as fast as Xanatos wants it to. |
22 | * XDaysSince is not however many days since [[WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland X]] did something |
23 | * The "X" in XMakesAnythingCool is not meant for you to substitute with anything you'd like. Not everything can make anything cool. |
24 | ** It also isn't a more hardcore version of SmokingIsCool, but for MDMA. |
25 | ** And it doesn't mean that X chills (or heats) anything to just above the freezing temperature of water. |
26 | ** And it doesn't mean that putting something on Elon Musk's social media platform automatically makes it cool. |

28 | ** Nor is it {{Shipping}} applied to the alphabet. |
29 | ** It's not an origin story, either. |
30 | ** It is also not a crossover between ''ComicBook/XMen'' and ''ComicBook/YTheLastMan''. |
31 | ** No, it's not the third Gen VI Pokémon game after ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. |
32 | ** Nor is it a boy being conceived. |
33 | * [[VideoGame/MegaManX Sigma]] might hold the opinion that XMustNotWin, but "X" is not limited to the protagonist of this game. |
34 | ** Nor is it about people not wanting Twitter to be rebranded as X. |
35 | * 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. |
36 | ** It also has nothing to do with [[RuleThirtyFour Pac-Man porn]]. |
37 | ** Neither is it about disliking an ExpansionPack. |
38 | ** And neither does it mean that it's mating season for Sean Waltman. |
39 | * 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. |
40 | ** It's also not about shoving a xylophone into someone's mouth to shut them up. |
41 | ** Nor is it someone being disgusted by xylophones. |
42 | [[/folder]] |
43 | |
44 | [[folder:Y]] |

48 | * YankTheDogsChain is not the same as KickTheDog, except in certain ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts. Specifically, it involves the creative team inflicting pain and distress on a character, not necessarily another character. |
49 | * YeahShot is not a reply to WhyDontYouJustShootHim. |
50 | ** It is not [[ShootTheShaggyDog being shot after a successful escape attempt]]. |
51 | ** It's not [[Series/CSIMiami an]] [[Music/TheWho appropriate]] [[MemeticMutation response]] to a QuipToBlack. |
52 | * YearsTooEarly has nothing to do with TheJailBaitWait, or BornInTheWrongCentury. |

55 | * YellowPeril is not about your LifeMeter turning yellow when you are low on health. |
56 | ** Nor is it about [[Franchise/DespicableMe Minions]] or anyone from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' being or putting others in danger. |
57 | ** Nor does it refer to [[Literature/WingsOfFire Peril]] changing color to yellow. |
58 | * YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe is not nearly as relevant to ''Theatre/SweeneyTodd'' as you might think. |
59 | * {{Yellowface}} should never, ever be mistaken for Yellow Face from ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland''. |
60 | ** It's also not an insult directed to someone from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. |
61 | ** Nor does it have anything to do with jaundice. |
62 | ** Nor does it have anything to do with UsefulNotes/{{emojis}}. |
63 | ** Nor does it refer to [[Literature/WarriorCats Yellowfang]], if she got a different [[MeaningfulRename name]]. |

66 | * YetAnotherChristmasCarol isn't about being frustrated with your local radio station for playing too much Christmas music in December...[[ChristmasCreep or October]]. Nor is it a page listing musicians who've covered Christmas songs. |
67 | * A YinYangBomb is not what the Chinese use to fight [[MightyWhitey Mighty Whiteys]], [[ScaryBlackMan Scary Black Men]] and... Oh dear, UnfortunateImplications anyone? |
68 | * YokoOhNo is not the sound you make when Yoko from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' [[spoiler: kisses someone, and the recipient dies a very, very manly death at episode's climax]]. |
69 | ** Or the reaction when [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow Graham Jones stabs her]]. |
70 | ** Nor is it what someone says who hates [[Literature/{{Yoko}} Yoko the cat]]. |
71 | * YoMomma is not related to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo-Yo_Ma a musician]]. |
72 | * YouAreAlreadyDead is not when a character [[TomatoInTheMirror discovers]] that they were actually DeadAllAlong. |
73 | * YouAreNotAlone doesn't refer to moments when there are hidden enemies preparing to ambush you in an AbandonedArea. |

76 | ** It's also not about [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark whoever killed Kenny.]] |
77 | ** It does not refer to the camel from ''Literature/{{Pyramids}}''. |

79 | * YouCanAlwaysTellALiar is not about how liars make the best confidants. |

81 | ** It's also not a tactful way to tell someone to PleaseKeepYourHatOn. |
82 | * 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. |
83 | ** If you're [[Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi Negi Springfield]] on the other hand... good luck. |
84 | * YouCantGetYeFlask is not an example of YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe. |
85 | * YouCantMakeAnOmelette is not a criticism on someone's cooking skills. |
86 | ** Nor does it mean someone is prohibited from cooking omelettes. |
87 | * YouCantThwartStageOne is not a criticism of a player's skill at NintendoHard games, nor is it a case of a game's first stage being {{Unwinnable}}. |
88 | * YouDontWantToCatchThis isn't a description of HotPotato, and does not refer to useless ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. |
89 | * YouExclamation is not an UnusualEuphemism. |
90 | * YouGotGuts isn't ItemGet crossed with LudicrousGibs. Nor is it about obtaining Monster Guts in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds''. And it has nothing to do with the main character of ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''. |
91 | * YouHaveResearchedBreathing is not about doctors and scientists who specialize in how breathing works or breathing-related disorders. |
92 | * YouHaveToBurnTheWeb is not about setting fire to the internet (even though we wish it was). |
93 | ** Nor is it about attempting to fit the entire contents of the internet onto dvds. |
94 | * 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. |
95 | * YouLoseAtZeroTrust is not a double negative about excessive naivete. |
96 | ** Nor is it about how your ZeroApprovalGambit failed because for some reason people still like you. |
97 | ** Nor is it about a game where you have to prevent a company called Zero from becoming a monopoly. |
98 | ** Or one where you lose when [[Franchise/MegaMan a blonde, sword-wielding Reploid]] trusts you. |
99 | * 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. |
100 | ** While it does involve bad grammar, it's also not specifically someone telling you in bad grammar not to take a candle. |
101 | * YouPutTheXInXY is unrelated to female genetic material, or by extension someone being InTouchWithHisFeminineSide. |
102 | ** 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}}. |
103 | ** It also has absolutely nothing to do with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola hyperbolae]], though the trope does often create hyperbole. |
104 | * YouRequireMoreVespeneGas is not about [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack tibanna, which would be Bespin gas anyway]]. |
105 | * YourMom is not about an {{Everyman}}'s mom. |
106 | * YouShouldntKnowThisAlready is not a redirect to [[LateArrivalSpoiler "Early Arrival Spoiler"]]. |
107 | * YouWannaGetSued is a warning, not an offer. |
108 | * YourDaysAreNumbered is not about calendars. |
109 | * YourSecretsSafeWithMeSuperman is not what Lois Lane said to ComicBook/{{Superman}} when he told her that he was an alien from outer space. |
110 | * YourSizeMayVary has nothing to do with any sort of "male enlargement." |
111 | ** Nor should it be confused with SizeShifter. |
112 | ** It isn't a trope for which "[[YMMV/HomePage Your Mileage May Vary]]". |
113 | * 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. |
114 | * YourVampiresSuck does not necessarily have to do with the way that they feed. |
115 | * 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. |
116 | * YoungGun is about young people using guns to protect themselves. ''Film/YoungGuns'' is the name of a movie. |
117 | ** Neither is it about a recently manufactured firearm. |
118 | * YouWannaGetSued is not spoken between people whose hobby is getting themselves sued. |

120 | ** It's also not about targeting a person who's carrying drinking glasses in a fight. |
121 | ** Nor is it about using a pair of glasses as a weapon. [[WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph Except for when it is]]. |

123 | ** Nor is it about a rap song concerning story structure. |
124 | ** Nor is it necessarily about a yo-yo that happens to ''be'' a plot point. |
125 | * YuriFan is not in any way related to the villain from ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert2'', the hero from ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'', the guy who spends half of ''Anime/{{Planetes}}'' looking for a compass, the voice actor that plays [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Sasuke]] and [[Anime/CodeGeass Suzaku]] in English, the male lead of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChronicles: Ring of Fates'', or the titular doctor in ''Literature/DoctorZhivago''. 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''. |
126 | ** Or somebody who's a fan of UsefulNotes/YuriGagarin, the first person in space, though he does have a lot of fans. |
127 | ** Not a trope namer for one of the ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting'' characters or one of the ''VideoGame/MysticWarriors''. |
128 | ** Nor is it a female desk fan who loves other female desk fans. |
129 | ** Nor is it someone who likes [[Literature/{{STINKBOMB}} Yuri Vilenemi]]. |
130 | * {{Yuri Genre}} is still not about UsefulNotes/YuriGagarin. |
131 | [[/folder]] |
132 | |
133 | [[folder:Z]] |
134 | * A ZanySchemeChicken is not when someone uses a chicken (whether rubber or alive) in a ZanyScheme, a chicken that frequently engages in Zany Schemes, nor is it chicken eaten by characters before they engage in a Zany Scheme. |
135 | ** Nor is it a character who starts a zany scheme, but chickens out before it's completed. |
136 | * A ZenSurvivor probably did not survive [[VideoGame/{{Shinobido}} Zen the Tiger Lily]]. It also has nothing to do with those who have survived [[VideoGame/HalfLife Xen]]. |
137 | * ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld has absolutely nothing to do with Music/LedZeppelin. |
138 | * A ZergRush has nothing to do with the tactics of the woman who broke Ken Jennings' win streak on ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}''. |
139 | ** Nor [[Franchise/ToyStory Emperor Zurg]]. |
140 | * A ZeroApprovalGambit does not involve getting the favour of [[Anime/CodeGeass the leader of the Black Knights.]] |
141 | ** Nor is it a gambit that none of the higher-ups give permission to use. |
142 | ** It's also not when nobody agrees with [[ComicBook/{{Gambit}} a particular card carrying X-Men]]. |
143 | ** Nor is it a gambit where the end goal is getting people to approve of [[VideoGame/MegaManX X's sidekick]]. |
144 | * ZeroEffortBoss is not [[PointyHairedBoss a boss who puts zero effort into his job]]. |
145 | * ZeroGSpot is not a woman lacking one. Nor is it proof that a particular ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' character is actually a girl. |
146 | ** It's also not a localized area on Earth not bound by gravity. |
147 | * JustForFun/TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples is not "protecting humanity as a whole trumps obeying the [[ThreeLawsCompliant Three Laws of Robotics]]". |
148 | * ZerothLawRebellion does not involve going back in time and writing something that becomes the TropeCodifier for a trope Shakespeare currently codified, nor does it have to do with [[Anime/CodeGeass Lelouch]] piloting a copy of the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Wing Zero Custom]] in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsDD''. |
149 | * ZigZagged tropes are not to do with that [[WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler Zigzag.]] |
150 | * ZillionDollarBill isn't about Bill Gates' net worth, nor is it an example of a ShockinglyExpensiveBill. |
151 | * A ZombieAdvocate is not necessarily an [[Literature/{{Discworld}} undead lawyer]]. Nor is it a lawyer without a soul (we have [[EvilLawyerJoke other]] [[AmoralAttorney tropes]] for ''that''). |
152 | ** Nor is it necessarily a zombie who advocates for a certain cause. |
