Per TRS, the following changes have been made to the definition:

  • Turn into a Super-Trope to several other "Ambiguous" and "Unclear" tropes that better fit the current use, similar to what TRS previously did with Hate Sink, requiring examples to be moved to subtropes that fit
  • Set a requirement for the work to imply that the situation may or may not have happened (or other possibilities), with some degree of In-Universe merit for either.

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

I removed this:

  • * My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: During the episode "The Best Night Ever", Prince Blueblood's use of "one" when he expects Rarity to put her cloak over a puddle:
    Prince Blueblood: Miss Rarity! Stop!
    Rarity: Oh. Prince Blueblood! How chivalrous.
    Prince Blueblood: One would hate to slip.
    Rarity: Yes. "One" certainly would.
    Prince Blueblood: One's cloak should take care of the problem.
    • And again when he expects her to get the door for him.

That's simple subversion, not ambiguity. The show is quite clear who "one" refers to.
