Blunt Metaphors Trauma	comment	Beyond simple language structure are the aspects of figurative language: idioms, metaphors, similes, and other things that go beyond exact word meanings in a sentence. This trope is when a character will screw up such terms. This can range from using the wrong word in a term, to getting the whole meaning wrong. The three most common causes are when a character is a non-native speaker of a language (if not an outright Funny Foreigner), is very Literal-Minded, or came from Cloudcuckooland. This is usually Played for Laughs. A Threat Backfire is a possible result of this. This can even happen when the non-native speaker tries to use idioms from that character's language, and it loses its meaning in the translation. In reality, it is not unusual for this to be caused by literal translation from a known language, such as "having one's ass circled in noodles" (though, simple misunderstandings are also a frequent cause of this trope). But in TV Land, it's more often done by taking an existing expression from a language/culture different from the character's and replacing its words with synonyms from the same language, something highly improbable in real life, but is excused due to Rule of Funny. The misspeaker isn't always the sole butt of the joke, though; often, such gags highlight how ridiculous and/or arbitrary the idioms are in the first place. Why can something be "a piece of cake" or "as easy as pie", but vice versa sounds utterly ridiculous? A Sister Trope to Literal Metaphor (where an unlikely event sounds like a mangled metaphor). Compare Mixed Metaphor, Metaphorgotten, Buffy Speak, Malaproper, Expospeak Gag, Sidetracked by the Analogy, [Popular Saying], But..., and Either "World Domination", or Something About Bananas. Not to be confused with Weapons-Grade Vocabulary, though both may seem to be physically painful at times.

Blunt Metaphors Trauma / int_114e569f	comment	In Rihannsu: The Empty Chair the Enterprise crew is working closely with a renegade Romulan crew. The other side has been provided with universal translators but at one point one of the Enterprise crew uses an idiom that the UT apparently translated literally, which confuses the Romulan. Uhura complains that she's going to have to adjust the UT's idiom filter again.

Blunt Metaphors Trauma / int_21b21f35	comment	In season 2 of BoJack Horseman, after the original director is fired, a very bland yet obedient and uncontroversial director named Abe is hired to direct the Secretariat biopic BoJack is starring in. After BoJack expresses concerns over the quality of the production, Abe reassures him that they "ain't making Casablanca". Naturally, BoJack thinks he meant the film is not intended to be good, but Abe meant it literally (as in, they are not making the actual movie Casablanca), for whatever reason. When BoJack criticizes the film, Abe becomes livid.

Luckily, being smitten with her, he finds it to be more cute and amusing than annoying. In "The Big Clam-Up", Ma-Ti got into Sam Spade type detective novels and tried to use 1940's slang, only to get it all mixed up. One moment, in which he phrased "take the case" as "take the cake", even caused Gaia to engage in a very human moment of sighing.

The page quote is one time that Raimundo used how badly he mangles phrases into a pre-asskicking threat. Everyone, friends and enemies alike, sometimes need a moment to decode what the actual idiom he was trying to say is. In one episode the villain Jack Spicer had to translate some of Omi's double-jointed dialogue for everyone else. Raimundo (who normally corrects Omi) is seen fainting in the background with a headache. Also from Xiaolin Showdown.

Blunt Metaphors Trauma / int_43576f5	comment	Castiel from Supernatural. But then again, Angels of the Lord can probably get a pass for being a bit too literal minded. (He learns to do a great deadpan eventually.) Oddly enough, Castiel seems to be the only angel to suffer from this problem. The other angels - especially Zachariah - seem to enjoy using metaphors and pop culture references. Even Lucifer, who has been trapped in the pits of Hell for thousands of years, uses references he probably shouldn't be familiar with. It may have to do with how much mining of the vessel's mind they do. Zachariah and Lucifer are both completely willing to rip through whoever-that-is and Nick, while Cas appears to have put Jimmy to sleep for pretty much the whole time he was wearing him. Although he does have a lot of his mannerisms, we could put that down to muscle memory...or, you know, Misha Collins not being a godlike actor. Demons just out of Hell appear to rely on this regularly—for example, the seven deadly sins in the start of season three pull things like "Here's Johnny!" while smashing down a door, when they haven't been out since the sixteenth century. And there isn't much to choose between, say, Zachariah and Crowley, so we can infer similar technique. That Uriel is the 'funniest angel in the garrison' when there was Balthazar, and above them the kind of mind that makes of fake identities for two guys named Winchester and surnames them Smith & Wesson, really does say something weird about angel mentality. I'm not even sure what.

Blunt Metaphors Trauma / int_468bebb0	comment	Occurs often in the Discworld. Pratchett, as a rule, is very, very fond of overanalysing idioms and taking things literally. Ankh-Morporkians, in particular, are infamous for their literal-mindedness when it comes to metaphors, and former ruler Olaf Quimby II even wrote a law requiring all metaphors to be able to be made literal. The law still exists, and the current ruler enforces it in order to keep that sort of people occupied. In Quimby's memory, the Morporkians still say "the pen is mightier than a sword" with the addition, "but only if the pen is very sharp and sword very small". Apparently, the king had demanded an unusually smart poet to prove the phrase on himself. Archchancellor Ridcully. From Lords and Ladies: Captain Carrot is a six-foot-tall dwarf who has inherited his (adopted) race's understanding of such things as irony ("sort of like iron"). Upon first arriving in Ankh-Morpork in Guards! Guards!, when instructed to "charge these men" he rushes at them wielding an axe in each hand and screaming the ancient Dwarf battlecry "NEE-NAW-NEE-NAW". In the same book, he's told to "throw the book at him" and the thrown book smacks the target on the head, knocking him over a ledge to his Disney Villain Death. He seems to have mostly gotten over this in later appearances. Also the rogue Auditor Myria LeJean (a.k.a. Unity). The Auditors. For instance, when asked "Can I offer you a drink?" an Auditor will respond that yes, it does believe you are capable of making that request. From Thief of Time, an exchange between Wen the Eternally Surprised and not-too-bright apprentice Clodpool. Even Death himself runs into this trope. In Reaper Man, upon being told that "diamonds are a girl's best friend", he sets off to rob a particularly large one from the Lost Temple of Doom of Offler the Crocodile God. It leads to some shenanigans with the High Priest, the other priest who was not high, and Indiana Jones jokes.

Blunt Metaphors Trauma / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: In Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Drax the Destroyer has trouble understanding metaphors. Drax also doesn't understand the 'finger slicing throat' gesture. Later, he uses this as a Pre-Mortem One-Liner by saying "Finger across throat means death" before killing someone. Later in the movie, Quill mentions a city full of people with "sticks up their butts" to Gamora. Gamora then asks him who did such a thing as she believes it's unnecessary cruelty. In Avengers: Infinity War, Mantis says that the guardians "kick names and take ass." Averted in The Avengers (2012) when Captain America is delighted to hear a cultural reference he does understand (having presumably run into this trope fairly often because of his unfamiliarity with the modern world).

This is also an instance of the series overall playing with the trope; the characters carry Translator Microbes and so most of the time the alien characters use perfect idioms, as they're really just speaking in their own language and the microbes cause the hearer (and audience) to hear an expression with the intended meaning. Aeryn doesn't start mangling metaphors until she begins to fall in love with John Crichton, a lost human astronaut—causing John (and the audience) to realize that she's actually trying to learn English (and to fervently wish she'd stop.)

Blunt Metaphors Trauma / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Spock is famous for taking metaphors literally: For example, asking "Why would I wish to aim at [the broad side of a barn]?" It's funnier in context. (After hearing the song Row, Row, Row Your Boat) "Life is not a dream." Incorrectly, the hell, using swear words in Star Trek IV. He was trying the hell to communicate. He also the hell doesn't understand that "The hell I will" means the opposite of "I will." "We are chasing... not wild aquatic fowl." "Are you sure it isn't time for a colorful metaphor?" Star Trek IV: It's not just Spock, either, especially when the crew time travels (figuratively or literally): Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation: This is lampshaded in the pilot, as Picard asks "Data, how can you be programmed as a virtual encyclopedia of human information without knowing a simple word like 'snoop'?" A good case occurs in the finale, a Time Trouble episode back to the beginning (among others...), where Data overhears another character discuss "burning the midnight oil." He not only suggests it's a bad idea — it would set off fire-suppression systems — but, once he learns what it means, he then suggests to Picard that to fix a certain system, he would need to "ignite the midnight petroleum." In the episode "Data's Day" he mentions that he "may be pursuing an untamed ornithoid without cause." It takes Dr. Crusher a few seconds to realize he's talking about a wild goose chase. In the Star Fleet Academy younger-readers books, it's revealed that Data wasn't at the Academy an hour before a fellow cadet suggested he "pull up a chair" and he proceeded to do just that — pull the chair off the floor — much to the amusement of his fellow cadets. Despite the chair in question being bolted to the floor at the time. In one of the later EU novels, Data admits to Wesley that he'd been doing this on purpose from the very beginning, in an effort to understand human psychology better.

Case in point, in one episode a human working with some Sontarans enthuses that what they're doing is cool. Cue blank looks from the Sontarans ("Is the temperature significant?"). Though the Master is usually more socially discerning, the Eric Roberts incarnation in ''The TV Movie'' runs into this when his human companion Chang Lee tries to start some small talk with a reluctant Master.

Blunt Metaphors Trauma / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation: This is lampshaded in the pilot, as Picard asks "Data, how can you be programmed as a virtual encyclopedia of human information without knowing a simple word like 'snoop'?" A good case occurs in the finale, a Time Trouble episode back to the beginning (among others...), where Data overhears another character discuss "burning the midnight oil." He not only suggests it's a bad idea — it would set off fire-suppression systems — but, once he learns what it means, he then suggests to Picard that to fix a certain system, he would need to "ignite the midnight petroleum." In the episode "Data's Day" he mentions that he "may be pursuing an untamed ornithoid without cause." It takes Dr. Crusher a few seconds to realize he's talking about a wild goose chase. In the Star Fleet Academy younger-readers books, it's revealed that Data wasn't at the Academy an hour before a fellow cadet suggested he "pull up a chair" and he proceeded to do just that — pull the chair off the floor — much to the amusement of his fellow cadets. Despite the chair in question being bolted to the floor at the time. In one of the later EU novels, Data admits to Wesley that he'd been doing this on purpose from the very beginning, in an effort to understand human psychology better.
