I deleted the real-life \\\"examples\\\" of \\\"does this make me look fat?\\\" and \\\"you\\\'re like a brother to me,\\\" because

# The first, at least, is only tangentially related at all.
# We\\\'ve already got tropes for both of them.
# They\\\'re general categories, which usually aren\\\'t worth adding examples for.
# They\\\'re old jokes more than they are real-life phenomena, honestly.
# The first is a bit sexist, and the second somewhat implies stalking.
# They\\\'d both accumulated boatloads of {{Natter}} - not generally a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but there\\\'s not much of a baby here.
