* In the Anime/{{Naruto}}[=/=]WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} crossover [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11425092/8/Veritas-Aequitas Veritas Aequitas]], some characters have a new way to refers to their stealth skills.
-->'''Naruto:''' I am a ninja! Fear my ninja-tude!
* In the ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'' story adaptation "A Haunted Christmas", Duncan [=McSmurf=] chides with his friend Tapper that he would rather see Tapper alone with Smurfette in the tavern doing...well, "intimate things."
* In the ''FanFic/LegacySeries,'' the new Green Arrow, Jon, has a moment of this when he mangles his BadassCreed:
-->“I am the shadow that stalks the night. The danger that haunts the whatever from deep within the thing."
* In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Izuku is flying by the seat of his pants when asked to give a speech to his entire first year class, resulting in this line:
-->'''Izuku:''' All of us can show off Wisdom, Wonder, Mystery, and Entropy if we just put our minds to it. A-And if you ever think that justice isn’t working, then all you have to do is… is justice harder!
* In ''Fanfic/TheWebOfTheSpiderMan'', Peter is a HeroWorshipper for Tony Stark. Learning that Tony was now a superhero just made things even better.
-->'''Peter:''' The fact that Tony Stark was now a literal super hero? That just made it ten times better! He was like that old WWII Hero, Captain America, but just... science-ier!
* The hero of ''Fanfic/FreakinGensokyo'' has raised Buffy Speak to an art form. Half of everything that comes out of his mouth is a some form of Buffy Speak. Referring to nodding as a "wobbly head response" is the least of it.
* In ''Fanfic/MyMasterEd'', because Hohenheim has lived in a desert his whole life, he calls Ed's gloves ''white slim hand-shaped cloth-sacks''.
