* This is shown to be [[Characters/TheOwlHouseAmityBlight Amity Blight's]] worst fear in ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' episode "Enchanting Grom Fright" when she goes up against [[EmpathicShapeshifter Grometheus the Fear Bringer]], who shifts into the form of her crush [[spoiler: [[Characters/TheOwlHouseLuzNoceda Luz Noceda]]]], takes the note she was going to give them to ask them out to the school dance out of her pocket, rips it in half in front of her and then lets the crumpled pieces drop at her feet. [[spoiler:The actual confession doesn't go that way, as by the time she actually works up the nerve to ask her out half a season later, Luz is crushing on her just as hard. Because of all the embarrassment Luz had to go through to ask her out, she doesn't accept, so Amity acquiesces to Luz having the moment]].

* Barry and the Bookbinders recorded the novelty song [[https://soundcloud.com/saphira-raven/2-hot-4-u-part-ii "2 Hot 4 You Pt. II"]] (there is no known "Part I") about a hesitant young man being goaded into asking her for a date ("The worst she can say... is 'No'!"). Her response is three stanzas of napalm-class burn. "You ugly, stupid, zit-faced scum / You asked me out? You must be dumb / Well, you can beg until you're blue / But you're not even fit to lick my shoe."
