There seem to be a lot of examples drifting into CatchPhrase here, generally with someone using the phrase \\\"X CONSTANTLY says Y\\\". There should probably be some kind of rule of thumb for where the cut-off is. It\\\'s not quite as simple as a Catchphrase not being \\\"involuntary\\\", as everyone has had the experience of overusing a word or phrase they\\\'d never noticed they were saying so much.

By my reckoning, a CatchPhrase would be something someone says about OnceAnEpisode, a VerbalTic something they say at least once for every scene they speak in.

I think MadonaWhoreComplex should be added to the folder Sexist Against Women because it divides women up into two exclusive categories of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Madonna and Whore]] while men don\'t suffer any such treatment. There are men who fit into the [[SpearCounterpart spear counterparts]] of Madonna (for example, Joe Young from {{Orgazmo}}) and Whore (for example, Barney from HowIMetYourMother), but there are plenty more male characters who are understood to fit into a gray area between these two.
