Well, frankly, this is why Nilly is a verb and we are not.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

This post in no way endorses the use of emoticons.
Disturbingly, a catalogue of television tropes, idioms, and devices actually sounds like it would be a useful resource.
When your dating pool contains only academics, you must learn to discuss these things or just give up and buy a RealDoll.

Further upthread, there was some discussion of a resource for quick lookups of tv conventions. I've put up a quick Wiki that might become such a thing. It is here. Any beta activity would be appreciated.

a Sarameg wasn't real?
HEY both the west and east coast have met me! And my parents! (Sorry, middle states.)
The irony (to me) in that is when I was a student in Prague, my across-the-hall-suitemate/mentor/freshman-mommy who had graduated was also living there, and I spent a lot of time with her, but my fellow abroad-mates never had occasion to meet her, despite my attempts. She was referred to as my imaginary friend. Kind of hilarious when I spent at least one or two nights a week crashing at my "imaginary friend"'s place after going out clubbing or whatever with her. I do wonder what people thought I was doing. I invited a lot, but never got taken up on it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kristen, FTW! Hec, send that to Annalee and discredit this Fast Eddie figment.

Sara, you're so cute. I wasn't doubting your realness; dude, your awesome neighbors would vouch for you.

Cute=fuzzy. Not fuzzy!
Sorry, old joke.
And my neighbors ARE awesome.

Heh, not fuzzy. I don't suppose "adorable" would be any better?

Mrph.
Me and Prague roomate had an ongoing argument about cute. Took almost 6 months to conclude. We finally settled on cute=fuzzy. Therefore, we were not cute.
Then she had a fuzzy kid and it is all muddled now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The easiest way to do that search would've been to search COMM.

I have read up on the start of tvtropes and I feel much better. I just wish I could fix io9. Someone is wrong on the internet, and they're really wrong, mummy! They're being deceived!
