Misused: She Is All Grown Up

Go To

Courtesy link to the oldest version of the page on the Internet Archive

She Is All Grown Up is when a character acknowledges a friend of theirs (usually a Childhood Friend) has grown up to look nice. Unfortunately, the requirement of there being an In-Universe Acknowledgement is often ignored, leading to many examples simply describing a character that has grown up. I conducted a wick check to see how much misuse there was, and here are the results:

  • 14/60 were correct
  • 26/60 were misuse
  • 11/60 were gushing
  • 6/60 were ZCE
  • 3/60 were other/misc

I recommend the trope is renamed to make it clearer that the acknowledgement is required.

Saying She's Sexy Now? I suppose you could argue that it could be mistaken for a self-descriptor, but I want to put at least a little faith in editors. Though there's also Stating She's Sexy Now if you want to clarify a little bit.

Surprised They Grew Up seems too close to I Got Bigger and doesn't mention anything about attractiveness.

How about Grew Up Beautiful Remark?

For every low there is a high.

It's been three days. I believe we have enough name suggestions for a rename crowner, tho I recommend making a crowner for whether we WILL rename first, as I recall someone mentioning disambiguating as an option before.

[up][up][up]I don't think the new name needs to be gendered like the original name when this trope isn't Always Female.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

Rename crowner? (Before alternate names crowner if a rename gets consensus.)

It's been a few days. Which crowner do you guys think we should go with - an alternative names crowner, or a rename crowner?

I'll hook a rename crowner. It may just seem like protocol but we may as well get it out of the way.

It's been a few days, and there's overwhelming consensus to rename. Hollering to close the crowner.

Calling in favor of renaming.

We'll need a list of names to put on the next crowner.

Calling in favor for renaming from She Is All Grown Up to All Grown Up Remark, since it has been four days (in my timezone) since the crowner is hooked.

Was that going to be custom-titled to 'All Grown Up' Remark?

Yes, using a custom title to put quotation marks around "All Grown Up" (in the vein of "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer and "Not So Different" Remark) is the plan.

Does the description need to be rewritten before the page can be moved?
