Hey, we aren't "describing" Insistent Terminology, we are "articulating" it! A character constantly corrects a word (fine, if you say it's called a term, then it's called a term) used in their introduction or any speech that otherwise refers to them, but never seems to stop (all right, keep) anyone else from using it. Sometimes this is because they could be called something people see as unflattering or a poor choice of words. Occasionally this extends into a species joke, where an alien or funny animal corrects others about some stereotypical aspect. Can also be done with an ethnic joke where the person has to correct others about some stereotypical aspect of nationality. Subtropes to this are as follows: Action Figure Justification: It's not a "doll", it's an "action figure". "Blackmail" Is Such an Ugly Word: Character insists on a euphemism to cover up a negative reality. Distinction Without a Difference: Character insists on a synonymous term. I Am Big Boned: Character insists their weight problem comes from an uncontrollable source. I Am Not Weasel: A Talking Animal insists on being identified as the correct species. It's Not Porn, It's Art: The distinction between art and porn is debated. Less Embarrassing Term: Character insists on calling something by a more "dignified" term. Never Say "Die": Usually a meta-example, often due to Moral Guardians opposing any mention of death in children's media. Not Using the "Z" Word: Usually a meta-example, because the work itself refuses to use a colloquial term. Spell My Name with a "The": The character insists on an article to impress. Technical Euphemism: Using technical language to make something seem less disturbing or gross. Would Be Rude to Say "Genocide": Character insists that certain actions are actually not genocidal. Compare/Contrast with She Is Not My Girlfriend (character insists a romance does not exist, sometimes an overlap when "friend" is substituted), Do Not Call Me "Paul" (character has a name they do not wish to be known by), Blatant Lies (character insists to make an affirmation that obviously isn't real), Don't Call Me "Sir" (character insists another not be formal), They Call Me MISTER Tibbs! (character insists another uses a formal/informal title in conversation), You Keep Using That Word (a character corrects or points out another character's repeated word misuse), Pronouncing My Name for You (when a character insists on others getting the pronunciation of their name correct/the way they want), and Pretentious Pronunciation (character wishes to class up something by "pronouncing it poshly", overlaps if they insist on their pronunciation). |

During the mid-nineteen/eighties, children of the Japanese diaspora began referring to Japanese pro wrestling exclusively as puroresu in an effort not to be associated with the WWF or GLOW when they admitted to being pro wrestling fans. Unlike say, Lucha Libre, which means something different in the language and was intended to be an offshoot of pro wrestling from the very beginning, puroresu was initially just what came out when someone who doesn't speak much English said "pro wrestling" untranslated. While the intentions were largely forgotten by the next generation of pro wrestling fans, "puroresu" has stuck. There have even been official events in the USA billed as such. | |

Meta-example for Star Trek Online. Cryptic insists the Klingon Bortasqu'-class is a "battle cruiser" despite the fact that stats-wise it's really a Starfleet-style cruiser with the serial numbers filed off: an engineering/tactical Mighty Glacier. This led to them not giving it all four cruiser commands when they debuted (although in practice "Attract Fire" isn't that useful in the PVE metagame anyway). | |

Bojack Horseman: Dr. Champ is not a therapist, he's a therapy horse. The distinction actually becomes important, as a therapy horse is not bound by physician/patient privilege, meaning Dr. Champ was free to sing like a canary to Paige Sinclair about all of Bojack's dirty secrets. Character Actress Margo Martindale is always referred to as...well, Character Actress Margo Martindale. No word on whether it's her or Hollywoo that does the insisting. |

In Sharknado 2: The Second One, when Matt Lauer mentions the intensifying "shark storm" to his Today show audience, Al Roker corrects him with "sharknado"—but Matt, at this point, ignores him and repeats the phrase "shark storm". Later in the film, however, Matt has caved and is somewhat grudgingly using the term "sharknado". | |

WWE Raw is "the longest-running weekly episodic television program in history," ever since they legitimately took the title from Soul Train. This, however, is mostly done since other scripted shows have run longer, but do so seasonally, or in cases of news and sports programs, are not episodic but may have run longer. In the case of pro wrestling, several local promotions such as the Portland and Houston territory ran for over 40 years but weren't nationally available or episodic. | |

And I Will Burn For You: In For What, For All But Myself, soon after they discover that Jiang Cheng is carrying a baby and not possessed by some sort of parasite/spirit, Jiang Cheng mostly refers to it as "the heir". Wei Wuxian calls him on it at one point. By Chapter 21, though, he does think of it as a baby a couple of times, and by chapter 22 it’s consistently "the baby" in his head instead. He thinks of it as the baby or even as his son for the rest of the pregnancy. In "The Shadow Lingers", Jiang Cheng is trying to get his son to call him Jiujiu (uncle) instead of diedie (dad). He is heavily implied to have done the same thing to his nephew, Jin Ling. |

This can be zig-zagged. Fans and wrestlers don't appreciate "fake" used to disparage pro wrestling (especially considering the idiot spouting off probably has no issue with James Bond or the like), since the wrestlers really are falling off the ladders and such. So beyond being insulting, "fake" is an incorrect term. On the other hand, wrestlers have admonished other wrestlers, who are either hitting entirely too hard, or are doing unnecessarily risky spots, by saying that wrestling is FAKE and you aren't supposed to clobber the other guy or kill yourself doing it. | |

From The Simpsons: Homer meeting the President of the Globex Corporation: In one episode, Lisa points out that she's a perfectly reasonable child in order to stand up for children's rights at the town hall. An onlooker immediately reacts in shock, saying that he'd thought she was a midget. "First of all, they prefer to be called 'little people,' and secondly..." In a parody of A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, there was a robot urinal that doesn't like being called a urinal-bot. He prefers to be called "Lava-tron". The man Marge bought a ticket from wasn't a scalper. He was a "dude whose 200 friends did not show up". The Springfield Nuclear Power Plant melts down once, but meltdown is "one of those annoying buzzwords. We prefer to call it an unrequested fission surplus." Homer saves the plant/town through sheer dumb luck. This exchange in "G.I. (Annoyed Grunt)": Homer does not want to take a vacation in Florida ("America's wang"). "They prefer the Sunshine State," though.note Very much Truth in Television, as this is the state's official nickname. For every sunny day, though, there's a pretty high hurricane risk. When Lisa and Bart unleash a zombie plague on Springfield, he chides her for calling them zombies: "They prefer to be called the living impaired." This exchange from "Treehouse of Horror VII" section The Thing and I: Lampooned in the "Treehouse of Horror VIII" section The Homega Man: The writers insist that Waylon Smithers is not gay, he is a "Burns-sexual". Homer's "D'oh!" is always written as "[Annoyed grunt]" in the show's scripts and episode titles, even when punning on "D'oh!" |

This is for a variety of personal and professional reasons, and she always refers to Stephanie by her proper name or with various pronouns, always avoiding the actual word "Batgirl." When she finally does use the term Stephanie recognizes that this signifies her acceptance and approval, and it gives her the motivation to persevere when fighting the Scarecrow. | |

Naruto: Sasuke corrects Deidara that his jutsu is called "Chidori", not "Raikiri" (Lightning Blade). "Chidori" is the formal jutsu name, and "Raikiri" is the nickname given to Kakashi's version. Initially this makes sense, as Raikiri was a further refined version that Kakashi created after years of practice. But Sasuke continues to call his version "Chidori" even after he's surely refined it just as much as Kakashi did, and also refers to all of his specialized variants of the technique as "Chidori [suffix]". On a number of occasions, Shikamaru and Shikaku corrected their opponents by insisting that their technique is called Shadow Imitation Technique (Kagemane no Jutsu) and not Shadow Bind Technique (Kage Shibari no Jutsu). The Shadow Imitation Technique is more refined version of the older Shadow Bind. In a flashback on the day of the Uchiha massacre, Sasuke's mother offered to help him with "shuriken practice" after school. Sasuke then insists, "It's not practice, it's training!" His choice of words is implied to reflect the desire that his efforts as a ninja in training be taken more seriously, since, when he was young, he felt as though he was living in the shadow of his brother. |

Dragon Age: Inquisition: Horsemaster Dennet will never address the Herald of Andraste as anything except "Inquisition." Not Inquisitor, which is his/her later title, but "Inquisition." Dalish of the Bull's Chargers insists that she's an "archer," despite it being very obvious that she's an apostate mage. She also claims that her magic staff is a "bow". The glowing crystal is for aiming; old elven trick, you wouldn't understand. The other Chargers go along with this to protect Dalish from people who don't like apostates (which is pretty much everybody). Hilariously, in the tie-in comic Magekiller, Dalish's mage staff is finally seen and it actually is shaped like a bow. Imshael is not a desire demon. He is a Choice. Spirit. The Qunari do this a lot whenever some of their members don't quite fit in their roles, particularly gender roles. If a woman wants to be a soldier and proves to be very good at it, she is allowed to fight, but is also considered a man while fighting. Because women under the Qun aren't soldiers. Likewise, the Qun treats mages as dangerous things (literally, the Qunari term for mages, "Saarebas," means dangerous thing) that must be chained up like animals. If a mage earns the respect of the Qunari, the Qunari simply don't think of that person as a mage. They are non-mages who just happen to be able to perform magic. But they are not mages. Dorian is mildly annoyed by the fact that "Magister" is used as a general term for all Tevinter mages among non-Tevinters, since it's an official position. He has to specifically explain that while he is a mage from Tevinter, he is not a Magister. |

Fate Revelation Online: Shirou, Illya, and Grimlock, the only actual mages from the real world, all use correct terminology. Most players refer to their spells as magic, but those three only ever call it magecraft, as True Magic is something entirely different. Illya gets a reputation for somehow knowing exactly how the thaumaturgy system works despite never speaking to a trainer, while Grimlock gets a reputation for constantly correcting everyone on their terminology. On the other side of things, Diabel, Sasha, and Thinker are all careful not to call the children trapped in the game "orphans." After all, their parents aren't dead or missing, they are just separated from them. Diabel is able to change the player name for their domicile from "the orphanage" to "the boarding school." He hopes this will reduce their trauma and help them reintegrate into society once the game is cleared. |

Attack on Titan has Bertolt drawing a line between "soldiers" and "warriors", especially when discussing his childhood friend, Reiner. It's one of the hints that both are The Mole, drawing a line between the human "soldiers" they've infiltrated and their own group, identified only as "warriors".

In Lily and the Art of Being Sisyphus, Wizard Lenin asserts on multiple occasions that he has a name. It is Tom Riddle. Or Lord Voldemort if you feel like groveling a bit. But, no, Lily knows that it doesn't fit his sense of gravitas- he is Wizard Lenin and Wizard Lenin he shall be. | |

Under the Northern Lights: Most characters refer to Wiglek the Wicked as a draugr or a generic undead; Twilight insists that he is properly speaking a lich. Since only one lich ever existed and will ever exist — only Luna can create liches, she only made the one back in her bad old days and has no intention of making more — she fails to make much headway in convincing people that they should use "lich" as a category of things. | |

Saints Row: Dex wishes you to know that it's "The Carnales" or "Los Carnales", not "The Los Carnales", as "los" means "the" in Spanish. In Saints Row: The Third, Phillipe Loren is called a "French fuck" by the Boss due to his obvious French accent, only for Loren to say "Please. I am Belgian". Once Gat does it again, Phillipe goes into killing mode, confirming it to be a Berserk Button. In Saints Row IV, the Boss takes offense every time they are called a sociopath, loudly insisting that they are a "puckish rogue". Though the accuracy of their preferred term can be debated, they're actually correct to say they're not a sociopath since they genuinely care about their fellow Saints too much to qualify as one. |

Garfield: Garfield never forgets. He just has "convenient lapses of memory". Garfield is not lazy, he's "sedentary". "Which is classy lazy". Garfield won't call it laziness even if he fails to come up with another way to call it. Garfield says "Cats don't scurry. Cats stroll.". Garfield didn't lie to Santa about being good. He "embellished". The next panel shows he claimed to have "rescued puppies from a burning orphanage". "Some call it yawning," Garfield calls it "sleep warm-ups". |

Larry Damone, in the Whateley Universe, is a mutant with the codename "The Man Called Vengeance". He can't get people to stop calling him just "Vengeance". His team leader Fantastico calls him "Vengie", which really bugs him. The school administration adamantly puts its foot down when people call Whateley Academy a Superhero School; they have a strict policy of neutrality to uphold, after all. |

Hot Fuzz: A series of Running Gags in stem from Angel's strict adherence to politically correct vocab guidelines that cause him to correct anyone who gets something wrong. He prefers the gender-neutral term of "police officer." "It's the police service; 'force' is too aggressive." "Traffic collision; 'accident' implies there's no one to blame." (Obviously, that one's not so much meant for comedy. Later becomes a Plot Point AND Foreshadowing). This is also shown at the end of the movie to show the Character Development of both main characters. Danny is the one to make the vocab guideline correction, showing that he's starting to take the not-so-action-packed moments of being a police officer a little more seriously, as he actually knows some of the guidelines. Angel is then the one who responds with a Double Entendre, showing that he's not taking himself quite so seriously anymore, and isn't as obsessed with being a model police officer every single moment of every day. It's not a rubber plant, it's a Japanese peace lily! |

Homestuck: Rose's Pesterchum text isn't purple. It's velvet. Kanaya doesn't meddle. She helps. Eridan insists that he's not using fake magic bullshit and that you call his new weapon a science wwand.

HE CONJURES THIS INTREPID FANTASYSCAPE WITH TEARS BLED FROM THE WISDOM-WEARY EYES OF FIFTY THOUSAND IMAGINARY MAGICIANS, etc etc Hussie also insists that what he does isn't trolling, it's "doing jokes". |

And of course, the sequel has the Nazdrovie / Light-Frog debate between Centurion Tenebrae and the main cast. The main cast start out calling it the latter while Tenebrae insists on the former. Being that Tenebrae is normally The Gadfly, they decide to get back at him by purposefully using 'light frog' until he gives up and starts calling it that too, at which point they suddenly start calling it a Nazdrovie instead. | |

Similar to, and possibly the inspiration for, the Grinch movie example elsewhere, is wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Piper was legitimately of Scottish descent, and often wore a traditional kilt to the ring. Of course, his opponent would invariably comment about how he didn't want to wrestle someone in a "skirt". Piper's response: "It's not a skirt, it's a kilt!", followed by some serious pummeling. The apex of this came at the 1992 Royal Rumble, where "broadcast journalist" Bobby "The Brain" Heenan was openly rooting for Ric Flair and mocking Piper at every turn, until Piper saved Flair from an attack. | |

The students and professionals in Senran Kagura are Shinobi. The promo materials occasionally call them ninja, but never kunoichi. While the latter is a decently well-known term for female ninja even in the west, it carries the connotation of relying on deception and feminine wiles, which Shinobi just don't do. There's also an odd example in the narrative of Shinovi Versus. Using dark powers to force your will on someone is "brainwashing", but apparently using your influence to take in young orphans with a specific and tragic background and then raising them in complete isolation to foster a fanatical, homicidal hatred for a specific group is not. Could have something to do with Dougen being the Big Bad and Kurokage feeling guilty about his actions on his deathbed and asking Honzo to deliberately undermine what he'd done, but the narrative is suspiciously hesitant to label a "Good Shinobi's" outrageously selfish plan anything negative. Of course, that might be the point. The Neptunia games poke fun at this. The games use every synonym for ninja in the descriptions of MarvelousAQL's equipment... except for shinobi. |

DuckTales (1987): In the episode "Once Upon a Dime" had Scrooge McDuck wearing a kilt and correcting some non-Scots who called it a skirt. Also, Scrooge never makes a "colossal blunder" when making decisions. A "business failure" maybe, but never a colossal blunder. (He's never made a "business failure" either, and never intends to start, but should he ever truly lose money on a poorly done and/or ill-conceived investment or project, that's the term he prefers.) |

Chasing Amy: Banky is an inker. But many people (especially that one guy) think it's the same as tracing. Alyssa may be a closet bisexual/pansexual but still insists on being considered a lesbian by her friends and eventual lover Holden. Possibly due to some Unfortunate Implications in the 90's that being considered a bisexual/pansexual was worse and more controversial than being just a lesbian (her friends react badly to her saying she's dating a man). |

Metal Gear: Every other character in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater who witnesses Naked Snake's CQC in action and is not already familiar with CQC itself refers to it as "judo", which was an incredibly popular buzzword in the 1960s. After receiving the title of "Big Boss" at the end of MGS3, Snake spends much of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops refusing the title and insisting his men continue calling him Snake, before finally accepting the title at the end of the game (and then backtracking to go through the same song and dance again in Peace Walker). In the opening cutscene of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Raiden notes that Maverick Security Consulting, although technically a Private Military Contractor, prefers to be referred to as a "Private Security Consultant" to distance themselves from the stigma surrounding PMCs when they were all but taking over for standing militaries four years prior. |

And in Fallout: New Vegas, we have the subtle distinction between a scavenger and a prospector, along with the varying ways to say Caesar's name.note Most characters pronounce it "See-zer", like most Americans do. Members of Caesar's Legion (and, for some reason, Marcus the Super Mutant) pronounce it correctly as "Kai-sar". Ranger Jackson is not allowed to hire mercenaries to help him. If someone were to help him, they most certainly will not be compensated in any way. However, there's a chance he might "accidentally lose" some supplies when they get back. Mr. House doesn't hide the fact that he'd be the sole ruler of New Vegas, but he'd be an autocrat, not a dictator. Raul, a ghoul who was alive before the bombs fell, insists that the Arizona city now known as "Two-Sun" still is and will always be Tuscon, dammit! Dr. Klein of Old World Blues makes it clear that Big MT is meant to be Big Mountain and not "Big Empty" as it is known elsewhere. |

Throughout the Batman: Arkham Series, Batman is very particular about how addresses his Rogues Gallery members. He may refer to them by their codenames, but he will not call them that to their face. Exceptions are The Joker, Ra's, and Bane, who have no known names besides those. Otherwise: Riddler, Penguin, Firefly, and Professor Pyg get a Last-Name Basis. This may be deliberate to tweak their noses. Hush, Two-Face, and Mister Freeze get a First-Name Basis. The first two are old friends or allies of Batman so that makes a certain amount of sense (he's definitely mocking Hush though), and calling Mister Freeze "Victor" may be due to his Tragic Villain status. Harley Quinn is the odd one out, who he always calls "Quinn". Which while the last name of her codename, isn't her real last name (Quinzel), making it an odd combination of using their last name and codename. |

WWE does this so often that it's probably easier just to list them all. It should be noted that many other wrestling promotions have begun using some of the same terminology, especially "sports entertainment" and "superstars", though Triple H is starting to phase some of this out in WWE since taking over in 2022. Most famously, pro wrestling itself is "sports entertainment" (sometimes just "entertainment"). When a WWE wrestler is written to be "rebelling" against the company, they'll say "professional wrestling." Vince McMahon will say "rasslin" if he's intending to mock someone. (Roddy Piper was a mediocre rassler before McMahon made him a superstar, etc.) This one actually goes back a long time, one story Vince likes to tell is that when Ted Turner bought WCW he called Vince and said "Guess what, I'm in the wrasslin business!", to which Vince responded "That's nice Ted, but I'm in the entertainment business." Wrestlers are "Superstars." Until April 2016, female wrestlers were "Divas" (they're now "female Superstars"). For a brief period in 2006, male wrestlers on the ECW brand were "Extremists" and females were "Vixens" (this was dropped with most of the other unique aspects of the ECW brand). Even on topics outside of kayfabe, "character" will always be used in place of "gimmick", even though "gimmick" was coined to more accurately explain how the job is different than playing a character. Injured wres... superstars are never taken to a hospital, but to a medical facilitynote Contrary to popular belief this isn't a Vince-ism, Jim Ross was using it long before he ever worked for the WWF. Jim Cornette explained on his podcast that this is a holdover from the territory days, saying "hospital" likely would have had fans actually going to the hospital to visit the babyface, who obviously wasn't even there, and that would expose the business. "Medical facility" is vague enough that there's really no way for anyone to call B.S. on it. Championship belts are just "championships" or "titles" (never "belts" and definitely never the old timey-sounding "straps"). Becky Lynch seems to have broken this one, though, after her double-championship win and dubbing herself "Becky Two-Belts". By the same token, title shots are "opportunities". WWE's fanbase is the "WWE Universe." WWE Raw is "the longest-running weekly episodic television program in history," ever since they legitimately took the title from Soul Train. This, however, is mostly done since other scripted shows have run longer, but do so seasonally, or in cases of news and sports programs, are not episodic but may have run longer. In the case of pro wrestling, several local promotions such as the Portland and Houston territory ran for over 40 years but weren't nationally available or episodic. This was invoked in a Miz TV segment with Cody Rhodes, where Miz would correct Cody when he gets the terms wrong. When Cody says that is eager to win the Undisputed Universal Championship "belt" from Brock Lesnar, Miz corrects The American Nightmare with "title" since "a belt holds up your pants". |

In Turnabout Storm, Phoenix Wright gets called out quite a few times for not using the word pony. At first it's for calling Twilight Sparkle a horse, getting corrected inmediately after it, and the next time is for using the word guy instead of pony. Phoenix doesn't seem too amused by this. Also, the ladders/stepladders gag. |

When you're rich... you succumb to a sudden attack of nausea.") Another article tells people to think of others' behavior in worse terms than their own—others are pushy, while you are assertive. | |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged: Though Future Trunks refers to 17 and 18 as "cyborgs", which is in fact the correct term, Goku insists on referring to them as "androids". When Cell calls 17 and 18 "cyborgs", Piccolo follows Goku's example and tells him that they call them "androids". Cell responds with "Well, good for you; you're wrong!" Comes up shortly after that when Cell tries to absorb Android 16, assuming he's a cyborg like 17 and 18. In spinoff HFIL Goz and Mez insist on calling the villains trapped in HFIL 'morally compromised malefactors', because villains imply that they're stuck there forever, and Goz and Mez are trying to reform them. In the "Buu Bits" done for Totally Not Mark's review of Dragon Ball Z's Buu Saga, Vegeta absolutely refuses to call Kakarot "Goku". So much so that, when they fuse into Vegito, their entire segment is Vegito trying to force themself to say "Goku" and absolutely failing. |

Equestria Girls: Friendship Souls: Clover is very insistent on the security constructs in the sewars not being robots... despite her boss Starswirl having programmed them to go "beep-boop", and that their attacks aren't lasers. Adagio is insistent that her Arrancar subordinates are "vassals", not "friends". She gets lightly called out on this concerning her relationship with Ember, with it being noted if she can't honestly call her a friend after everything they've done for each other what chance does she have of doing so for anyone else? And she only very reluctantly admits to that particular case for the sake of her own pride. Bowtie of the Zero Division is so obsessed with the language of his birth country, Japan, that he's the reason for the Gratutious Japanese all over Soul Society, including using the Japanese versions of his own name and the names of his fellow Zero Division members. Medley, in turn, makes it clear that she prefers the English version. |

In Pathfinder, some of Asmodeus's knights call themselves paladins. Likewise, many paladins across multiple settings refer to themselves as knights, extending to Dungeons & Dragons. The class that is often attributed to be the representation of a basic knight is internally called a cavalier, even if the term is never used in-setting. Both games' bestiaries continue to textually describe gnolls as being a "hyena-headed" race, suggesting a case of Non-Human Head. Despite that, both the accompanying illustrations and all adventures involving them always depict gnolls as being full Funny Animal (well, intimidating more than funny) hyenas. |

In Super Robot Wars Original Generation, Dr. Marion Radom flat out refuses to call Kyosuke's and Excellen's machines the Alteisen and Weissritter, instead using their original, production-model names — the Gespenst Mk. III and Gespenst Mk. II Custom, respectively. Until OG2, anyway, when she's impressed enough by their performance to call them by their codenames. Her selective hearing still keeps Excellen from getting a proper upgrade for "Weissy," though. Somewhat justified in her dislike for the name of Alt Eisen, as it's name is German for "Old/Scrap Iron" was partly picked as a means of mocking Radom's stubborn refusal to use alien Extra-Over Technology, and preference to sticking with the somewhat aging Gespenst design that she helped develop in the first place, when the military brass and other manufacturers wanted more advanced technology instead. Not that Radom didn't have justifiable concerns, given her ex-husband was nearly killed due to a serious malfunction of an Extra Over Tech based engine in the planned next gen Huckebeins that halted their development for some time. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Iron Man: Tony Stark is the lone civilian riding in a Humvee in Afghanistan. He asks the driver whether it's appropriate to call her a "Soldier" or if there is a prefered nomenclature since she's female. She points out that the correct nomenclature is Airman, because she is in the US Air Force. Iron Man 2: Tony insists during the Senate Subcommitee hearing that the Iron Man armor is not a weapon but is instead a high-tech prosthesis. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): "It's not a purse, it's a knapsack!" Ant-Man: Scott never robbed anyone. He burgled from them. Robbery involves threats or violence. Doctor Strange (2016): Stephen is very insistent on being called Dr., rather than Mr. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Parodied when Sonny Birch and his goons try to interrogate Luis by injecting him with Truth Serum. The bad guys insist it is not truth serum, it is a formula that lowers inhibitions and makes one vulnerable to suggestion, which Luis points out is what truth serum does. At the end, Luis and his friends defeat Sonny and his goons and inject them with the stuff. When they uncontrollably confess their crimes to the police, they grudgingly admit the stuff is truth serum. Thor: Ragnarok: The Grandmaster doesn't have slaves, he has "prisoners with jobs." Functionally speaking, they're basically slaves, though. His Dragon, Topaz, does refer to them as slaves at one point and gets gently reprimanded for it by Grandmaster, who apparently doesn't like "the S word." Surtur will grow as big as A MOUNTAIN, not as big as a house. Also, his magnificent crown is not a "huge eyebrow," it's a crown! It's all very important. |

Thankfully, nobody ever tried to sell that distinction again (in-universe, anyway). Sokka insists he does not have a ponytail; it is a Warrior's wolftail. It's not "piracy", it's "high-risk sea trading". And it's not a dance, it's an ancient, sacred firebending form. Called "The Dancing Dragon". The Legend of Korra: Varrick allegedly committed the crimes of arson, kidnapping, terrorism, and grand larceny. ALLEGEDLY. |

Mortal Kombat: Sub-Zero would like you to know that he is a Lin Kuei assassin, not a Ninja. It actually makes sense because ninja are Japanese, which makes his rival Scorpion a true ninja, whereas Sub-Zero and the Lin Kuei are Chinese - he even points this out in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. Tanya thinks "enforcer of the Deadly Alliance" is such an ugly term. Personally, she thought of herself as an ambassador. Since Mortal Kombat X came out, the term "Revenant" is being applied to any kombatant who has been killed to be resurrected later as an undead warrior. In Mortal Kombat 11, however, Noob Saibot prefers the term "Wraith" - his shadowy nature doesn't fit the usual characteristics of a Revenant. Same goes with DLC character Spawn, who is... well... a Hellspawn. |

In Fallout 2, the citizens of Vault City keep a slave labor force, but insist upon calling them "Servants", and make a habit of expelling those who say otherwise. There is some meaningful contextual difference,note There is a powerful Slaver's Guild dominating the slave trade in the region, but Vault City's servants are disconnected from that trade, and formally Vault City is unfriendly to the Slaver's Guild but mostly it is just Vault City being elitist jerks. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender The first episode has both Katara and Aang insist that what they do isn't magic; it is bending. Thankfully, nobody ever tried to sell that distinction again (in-universe, anyway). Sokka insists he does not have a ponytail; it is a Warrior's wolftail. It's not "piracy", it's "high-risk sea trading". And it's not a dance, it's an ancient, sacred firebending form. Called "The Dancing Dragon". |

The Archer episode "Skytanic" has the repeated insistence that the titular ship isn't a zeppelin, but a rigid airship filled with helium. Archer never gets it, constantly referring to the thing as a hydrogen-filled death trap. EVERYONE refers to Trinette's son as "the wee baby Seamus." Every. Single. Time. Also done with regards to Trinette herself in the episode "Training Day", who is a call girl. When Cyril thinks he accidentally killed her, Archer calls her a hooker because "...when they're dead, they're just hookers." Ray's brother Randy isn't a drug dealer, he's a drug farmer It's not YYZ it's YY Zed. Mallory will let you know that she is not racist, she is elitist, she treats every subserviant like crap, no matter their skin-color. |

Do NOT let Scott Steiner hear you refer to a Frankensteiner as a Hurricanrana. You have been warned. He's technically correct. A Hurricanrana requires the user to end the move by hooking the opponent's legs in a pin. Without the pin, the move would be more accurately called a Back Flip Head Scissors. | |

The main cast start out calling it the latter while Tenebrae insists on the former. Being that Tenebrae is normally The Gadfly, they decide to get back at him by purposefully using 'light frog' until he gives up and starts calling it that too, at which point they suddenly start calling it a Nazdrovie instead. |

The Mass Effect universe has quite a few of these. Robots with AI programs running in them, are referred to as "synthetics" to differentiate them from naturally evolved "organic" life. The salarian scientist Mordin insists that the Depopulation Bomb known as the genophage is not a sterility plague, but a "fertility rate adjustment to optimum growth levels", he'll even point out that sterilizing the krogan out right would have been considerably easier. Given that the krogan aren't actually sterilized, this is actually accurate. Salarians also do not get married, they "negotiate reproduction contracts". Illium does not allow "slavery", it allows "indentured servitude". Though from what we hear about the rules and terms of the practice, indentured servitude actually is the more accurate term. The quarian-made electric pulse gun known as the Adas Anti-Synthetic Rifle suffers from a reversal of this trope, with Alliance (human) marines saying that it doesn't have a rifled barrel and doesn't fire bullets, so it shouldn't be called a rifle. The geth insist on calling the Robot War in which they drove out the quarians from their home planet as "The Morning War" since it occurred immediately after they "woke up" (gained self awareness). Early human biotics weren't drafted for "brain camp"... err, Biotic Acclimation and Temperance Training, they were "encouraged to submit to a review so a greater understanding of biotics could be compiled." This pops up in an amusing conversation between Shepard and Tali in Mass Effect 3: In Mass Effect 2, it is revealed that all quarians refer to the leader of a ship as "captain", regardless of their actual rank: while Shepard never made the rank of captain, they are still responsible for the lives of the crew of the Normandy, hence, Captain Shepard. This is something Real Life human navies do too. The asari languages make a distinction between the partner that gives birth and the one that does not. The non-birthing partner in an asari/asari or asari/female alien couple is not the mother, she is the father. |

Phineas and Ferb: In the Wizard of Oz parody episode, D. Doofenshmirtz (playing the Wicked Witch of the West) is insistent that he's a warlock, not a witch and that his outfit is a robe, not a dress. The credits even list him as "Doofenwitch," with "witch" crossed out and replaced with "warlock". From the episode "Candace Gets Busted": "It's not a party, it's an intimate get-together!"note "Candace party! Candace party!" Buford wasn't crying. He was sweating through his eyes. Major Monogram later said the same thing in the movie. (see above) Again with Buford when he allowed Doofenshmirtz and his date to enter Phineas and Ferb's platypus-themed restaurant without a reservation. Doof didn't bribe Buford. He, to quote Buford, "caught my attention in a monetary fashion". A downplayed example but Phineas and Ferb are each other's brothers rather than stepbrothers, Candace is Ferb's sister rather than stepsister, Linda is Ferb's mom rather than stepmom and Lawrence is Phineas and Candace's dad rather than stepdad (in fact, it's hard for first-time viewers to tell that the Flynn-Fletchers are a blended family at all). |

Early in Star Wars: The Old Republic's Knights Of The Eternal Throne, you meet former-Moff Lorman who, in the intervening five years since everything which took place before Fallen Empire, rose to the rank of Minister. With the player character (regardless of whether they were affiliated with the Sith Empire or not) being accompanied by a former Republic SIS agent (Theron Shan) and a Sith who was the former right-hand of a traitorous Dark Lord (Lana Beniko), all three of them can - and, if given the chance, will - get in on intentionally omitting his new title. Or referring to him by his old one. The more they do it, the more irate he gets. | |

In Gintama, Katsura constantly corrects Gintoki, who calls him "Zura", to the point where it's his catchphrase. The joke evolves over the series into silly puns, so when someone calls him anything other than his real name, Katsura says "Not X, it's Katsura!" He sometimes changes it to "Not Zura, it's X" if he's wearing a disguise, though he blows his cover by saying "Not X, it's Katsura!" just as often. A minor case with Gintoki when Sakamoto calls him "Kintoki." When called a pedophile by Matako, Henpeita replies, "I'm not a pedophile, I'm a feminist." |

Fallout: In Fallout 2, the citizens of Vault City keep a slave labor force, but insist upon calling them "Servants", and make a habit of expelling those who say otherwise. There is some meaningful contextual difference,note There is a powerful Slaver's Guild dominating the slave trade in the region, but Vault City's servants are disconnected from that trade, and formally Vault City is unfriendly to the Slaver's Guild but mostly it is just Vault City being elitist jerks. When you meet Angela Bishop for the first time, she will ask if you are one of her dad's goons. One of the possible answers is that yes, you are one of Mr. Bishop's ENFORCERS, thank you very much. Similarly, in the Fallout 3 DLC Pack "The Pitt", The leader of the Pitt Raiders, Ashur, insists that his subordinates refer to the slave populace as "workers". Also in 3: Fawkes, the token good Super Mutant, insists that he is a "Meta-Human". Also, Dr. Barrows in Underworld calls Ghouls "post necrotic humans", feral ghouls are "Ferocious Post Necrotic Human Dystrophy," and Glowing Ones are "Luminous Post Necrotic Humans." And in Fallout: New Vegas, we have the subtle distinction between a scavenger and a prospector, along with the varying ways to say Caesar's name.note Most characters pronounce it "See-zer", like most Americans do. Members of Caesar's Legion (and, for some reason, Marcus the Super Mutant) pronounce it correctly as "Kai-sar". Ranger Jackson is not allowed to hire mercenaries to help him. If someone were to help him, they most certainly will not be compensated in any way. However, there's a chance he might "accidentally lose" some supplies when they get back. Mr. House doesn't hide the fact that he'd be the sole ruler of New Vegas, but he'd be an autocrat, not a dictator. Raul, a ghoul who was alive before the bombs fell, insists that the Arizona city now known as "Two-Sun" still is and will always be Tuscon, dammit! Dr. Klein of Old World Blues makes it clear that Big MT is meant to be Big Mountain and not "Big Empty" as it is known elsewhere. |

Assistant chief security maid Yashima Sanae in Hanaukyō Maid Team: La Vérité. In Japan "Sanae" is normally a first name, so people often call her Sanae instead of Yashima. She always corrects them when they do so, telling them that Yashima is her first name and Sanae is her last name. | |

Noragami: Even after releasing Mayu from his service, Yato continues to refer to her as Tomone, the name he gave her while he still served her. Mayu is understandably annoyed; referring to her as "Tomone" would imply she still served under him, and as she is not a Nora, it comes across as an insult. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!

(It's not Fusion, it's Yugo!)". Yugo also has a habit of correcting other things, e.g. "It's not a (motor)bike, it's a D-Wheel", "It's not 'Kendama', it's 'Maken Dharma'!", etc. | |

Locke of Final Fantasy VI. He's not a thief, he's a treasure hunter. And he'll rip your lungs out for saying otherwise! What makes this one line particularly funny is that the SNES translation is so aggressively kid-friendly that it refuses to acknowledge the existence of pubs and the word "death" and its variants... but threatening to pull out somebody's internal organs is A-OK? He's much less violent in the GBA remake. He'll just beat the crap out of you. |

Girl Genius: Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Adventurer!. It gets so ingrained that Krosp once does the correction reflexively without Othar present (before stopping halfway and noticing to his horror what he'd just done). In The Rant rather than the comic itself, hyperlinks are always "elegant and finely-crafted". And the comic itself, which is a part of the Gaslamp Fantasy genre, most definitely not Steampunk. Gilgamesh is very insistent that the little Heterodyne generator is not a lamp. The novelisations state that it is in fact a lamp. It just happens to have other functions as well. The Heterodynes liked building devices with multiple uses, "at least one of which was invariably for surprising people." When Agatha officially announces herself as the new Heterodyne, the Castle is very insistent that she say "tremble and obey!" This is because the Castle is about to ring the Doom Bell, which makes everyone (except the Heterodyne) tremble. Castle Heterodyne also insists that its guardian systems aren't called "devil dogs" but "fun-sized mobile agony and death dispensers". |

Despite this, Nintendo of Europe never enforced these guidelines strictly when it came to localizing text in languages other than English. It's not uncommon to find the term "Super Nintendo" slipped by in an ad copy for a game in German or Italian where the English equivalent would use "Super NES" instead (compare the various ad copies for Super Mario All-Stars here). Even Nintendo of Europe's official site refers to their 16-bit console as a "Super Nintendo." | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Manjoume has to constantly correct anyone who doesn't use honorifics when saying his name with "Manjoume-san da!" (translation: "That's Mr. Manjoume to you!"). Unfortunately for him, everyone mistakes this as "Manjoume sandaa", instead ("sandaa" being the Japanese pronunciation to the English world "thunder"). While he hasn't stopped with the correcting, "Manjoume Thunder" has embraced the mistake as part of his personal motto. In the dub, Manjoume's counterpart Chazz Princeton does the same thing, insisting everyone call him "The Chazz". Dr. Chronos was like this too. In the first season, he insisted on being called Doctor Chronos to anyone who addressed him otherwise. In the second season, he became Chancellor of the school, and while students managed to address him as "doctor" now, he insisted on being called by his new title. (By the fourth season, when he became Vice Chancellor, the students had much more respect for him, and this wasn't an issue anymore.) This happened twice in the dub during Judai's duel with Princess Rose; she was annoyed when Kenzan referred to her Des Frogs as reptiles (frogs are amphibians) and again when he called her D.3.S. Frog a toad. (Frogs are not toads.) |

The Elder Scrolls: Dremora are an intelligent race of lesser Daedra who are most commonly found in the service of Mehrunes Dagon as his Legions of Hell. Though they are commonly referred to as "Dremora", they prefer to identify themselves as "The Kyn", which translates to "The People" in the Daedric language. This is because they consider themselves superior and more intelligent than the other lesser Daedra, which they see as little more than mindless beasts. In Oblivion, an aspiring Orc "knight" named Mazoga insists that the player call her "Sir Mazoga" or similar, and will get angry if the player does not. Depending on dialogue choices and how the player handles the associated quest, she eventually realizes she's being a pompous jerk. In Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC, Knight-Paladin Gelebor - the last surviving uncorrupted Falmer - prefers to be called a "Snow-Elf", since the term Falmer has become stigmatized due to the actions of their debased kin, to whom he refers as "The Betrayed". |

Ironically, the one time Law does call him "Vergo-san" is when he regains his heart, and before proceeding to cut him in half. |

In Fading Suns, despite being for all intents and purposes a House, the term is "the Hazat", not "House Hazat". This originated as an Appropriated Appellation, with the other Houses not viewing the Hazat as fully worthy of membership, and now lingers as an excuse to start fights, which is something the Hazat enjoy quite a lot. | |

In Shanghai Noon, Chon Wang meets Roy O'Bannon, the leader of the gang responsible for the death of his uncle, buried up to his neck in the desert after his gang turned on him for screwing up the heist. Chon gets Roy to give him directions to town, but instead of digging him out, puts a pair of chopsticks in his mouth so he can dig himself out. After promptly getting lost in the desert, Chon eventually makes his way to town and finds Roy again (who successfully dug himself out with the chopsticks) playing poker at the saloon and accuses Roy of giving him bad directions. Roy denies the accusation: he gave Chon wrong directions. | |

Speaking of scripted performances, don't ever use the word "script" around Jim Cornette in a wrestling context, unless you want to be on the end of one of his rants. Movies have scripts, wrestling shows have formats, though given that wrestling formats now include stage directions and promos written word for word "script" probably is more appropriate. | |

A very poignant use crops up a lot in Code Geass; the racist, darwinist Britannians call those who were once Japanese "Elevens", since Japan was redesignated "Area 11" after the Britannians invaded, as a way of oppressing the Japanese; They go as far as to illegalise the use of the terms "Japan" and "Japanese".

Estonia is the sixth and newest Nordic member! At least, in his own mind he is.

Messianic Jews do not typically identify themselves as "Christians" — insisting, instead, that they are "Jews who found Jesus". "Traditional" Jews will usually fire back with, "Nope, you guys are definitely Christians!" Given that acceptance of Jesus as the Messiah is the point of divergence between Judaism and Christianity... On the flip-side, there are points in The Bible in which the early Church made clear distinctions between Jewish converts (which were still bound by traditional Jewish law such as circumcision), and non-Jewish converts (who were not). So, the distinction is not baseless. | |

Marisa Kirisame of the Touhou Project series doesn't steal things. She borrows them. Without permission. For the rest of her life. Also, regardless of what kinda first impression her clothes might leave you with, Marisa totally isn't a witch. She is, in fact, a miko/nurse/merchant/burglar. And her name is Reimu Hakurei. Yukari Yakumo is the one responsible for humans being spirited away. So if someone disappears without her involvement, they haven't been "spirited away" and she'd appreciate it if you referred to their disappearance using some other terminology. |

Final Fantasy: Cid in Final Fantasy II wants to make it perfectly clear that he's lending you his airship. But seeing as those are his last words... Locke of Final Fantasy VI. He's not a thief, he's a treasure hunter. And he'll rip your lungs out for saying otherwise! What makes this one line particularly funny is that the SNES translation is so aggressively kid-friendly that it refuses to acknowledge the existence of pubs and the word "death" and its variants... but threatening to pull out somebody's internal organs is A-OK? He's much less violent in the GBA remake. He'll just beat the crap out of you. Cloud Strife of Final Fantasy VII Remake answers everyone asking if he's SOLDIER by clarifying "Ex-SOLDIER" to make it clear he does not work for Shinra anymore. Ashe from Final Fantasy XII, leader of La Résistance - not the Insurgence. Carvellain, one of Limsa Lominsa's many Privateers, is known for dealing in spices. This confuses a newly-minted player character sent to obtain something totally non-culinary until another NPC explains that Carvellain calls everything he seizes from Garlean vessels "spice" regardless of what that cargo actually is. |

In an episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle, a Southern Gentleman insists that people call The American Civil War "The War Between The States". This sort of bickering over historical and political terminology is very much Truth in Television. Actually, he gets peeved over any word or phrase that even sounds like "Civil". When the next episode was going to be titled "Civil Defense", he angrily blustered, "War — I say — War between the States Defense!" (Amazingly enough, he's supporting the good guys, who are cast as the Confederate Army, though not by choice.) He relents after the war is reenacted (on the football field) and the South wins. | |

El Goonish Shive: Even after Susan gives up trying to distance the Aberration she and Nanase fought in France from the word "vampire" she insists on referring to it as "the monster". Sarah and Grace continue calling it a vampire though. In one of the canon EGS NP side comics, Susan insists that a fairy doll she just received is an action figure despite the fact that such objects had been referred to as dolls on every prior occasion. Lavender, a US-born member of an extraterrestrial race, strenuously objects to being called an "alien," to the point that Mr. Verres threatens to send Wolf to sensitivity training for doing so. In one of the Fourth-Wall Mail Slot comics, Kevin objects to being called a "minion," instead preferring "assistant." Dan points out that minions are paid more, and Kevin decides he's fine with being a minion. |

Warhammer: In the prodigious backstory of the game, there was once a great war between the elves and the dwarfs. While the war was inevitable due to deep social, economic and cultural differences, an overly arrogant elven king and some too-stubborn dwarf lords, helped with a dark elven False Flag Operation, the straw that broke the camel's back was when said elven king had the dwarven emissary to his court shaved for his own amusement. The subsequent war is known as "the War of Vengeance" to the dwarfs, who do not take kindly to use of the more common elven term, "the War of the Beard". Empire wizards who study the Lore of Death are not Black Magic users but Amethyst Wizards. This is a very important distinction in a setting where The Dark Side exists and is a real threat for wizards. Studying actual Black Magic and Necromancy inevitably corrupts wizards and drive them to do bad things to humanity at a whole, while Shyish (the Wind of Death) will at worst turn you slightly fatalistic and give you a taste for Gallows Humour. |

It is jar-based karate. With Halloween 2011, we now have MONOCULUS!, all caps and exclamation point necessary. Upon being killed by him, players must raise their hands to the skies and shout his name (then explain to the cops when they show up). In "Expiration Date", the Scout confides in the Spy that he'd like to get a date with Miss Pauling. The Spy proceeds to mock his lack of ability to get girls, to which the Scout protests. He's great at getting girls. He's not so good at getting ladies, and unfortunately Miss Pauling falls into the latter category. As for an example of the former category: |

The underdog candidate in "May the Best Pet Win" is a not a turtle; it's a tortoise. In "Read it and Weep", there's a brief debate over whether Rainbow Dash was causing a ruckus or a fracas. And in "Magical Mystery Cure", Shining Armour insists that his Tears of Joy at the end are, in fact, "Liquid pride... totally different thing!" "Putting Your Hoof Down" has Fluttershy insisting that "Iron Will's not a monster; he's a minotaur!" "Daring Don't" introduces Daring Do's nemesis Caballeron or "Dr. Caballeron" as he prefers. In "The Beginning of the End - Part 1", Tirek constantly reminds Cozy Glow to address him as "Lord Tirek". When the two of them are transported to Grogar's lair and meet Queen Chrysalis, who addresses him as "Lord Tirek" immediately, Tirek notes to Cozy "See? She gets it." |

Star Wars Rebels: "Droids in Distress": "The Protector of Concord Dawn": According to Kanan, Fenn Rau is not a prisoner, he's a "reluctant recruit". It comes back in "Imperial Supercommandos", where Kanan this time says that Rau's a "cranky guest". "An Inside Man": Zeb "accidentally recruited" Kallus into being a mole. He's somewhat embarrassed about it. |

Ferry of Mythical Beast Investigator is constantly correcting clients who assume she's a Mythical Beast Investigative Official — she isn't that highly ranked, and hasn't undergone the necessary training to be considered an Official. Due to a shortage of Officials, the Investigators have been forced to send out trainees to do the peacekeeping work normally assigned to Officials. Ferry is only a member of the Mythical Beast Investigative Unit (though her membership grants her nearly all the same rights and privileges as a fully vetted Official). | |

In Batman vs. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Donatello and Batgirl have different terms for the chemical compound that mutates people into animal-like creatures. Donnie calls it "ooze" while Batgirl calls it "mutagen". They keep this up with the formula they create to reverse the affects of the transformation; Donnie calls it "anti-ooze" and Batgirl calls it "retro-mutagen". The Joker makes an announcement over the Arkham intercom after taking over the asylum, playing up the roll as the new head of the hospital. He then calls for his "nurse" Harley to continue his latest plan. She simply stands there glaring at him until the Joker finally relents and calls her "Doctor Quinzel". |

Pokémon: The Series: Butch from the anime series constantly corrects those who get his name wrong. Everyone has mistaken his name for either "Biff", "Bill", "Bob", "Hutch", "Butcher", "Patch", "Botch", or "Chuck". Whenever his partner, Cassidy, gets it right, he accidentally corrects her with the wrong name. In the Japanese version, his name is "Kosaburo", and he's called "Kosanji" instead. They also get orders from Dr. Nanba, who has the exact same problem as Butch. As does Stephen (not Stef-AN or Steven but STEPH-an) in the Best Wishes saga. Brandon demands that he be called "Brandon", not "Mister". In Queen of the Serpentine, one of Lucy's apprentices insists that Lucy be addressed as "Pike Queen Lucy". |

The Sandman: Fun-Land. "Not FUN! FUN-LAND!" This being The Sandman, it's actually pretty terrifying: the guy in question is a child-murdering sociopath hiding behind the mask of an amiable, slightly goofy fat guy who stalks his "prey" in amusement parks. When Destruction got into a conversation with a denizen of a necropolis, the other person mentioned that they insist on referring to the dead they prepare for funeral rites as "clients" and not just "bodies". Destruction compliments them for their respect for the dead, contrasting them with the previous necropolis which did not share the same reverence for the deceased. |

She says that sometimes they are, but sometimes she just uses the old names. He suggests pepping them up a little - for example, the Bomb becoming the "Searing Orb of Crimson Flame." Firis immediately takes to the idea and the scene changes to Liane asking Firis for an Uni Bag and a Zettel, which Firis has now taken to calling the "Fury of the Earth" and the "Blessed Paper of God's Grace." | |

South Park The very first one from Cartman - "I'm not fat, I'm big-boned!" Sea Man regularly insists that people stop calling him "Semen". And from the episode "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers": In "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery", a Scooby-Doo parody, the band spends most of the episode arguing over what to call the eponymous spirits. According to them, "ghost pirates" are the spirits of dead pirates while "pirate ghosts" are ghosts that decided to become pirates after their deaths. "Bucky Bailey's Bully Buckers, trademark" |

Batgirl: Batgirl (2009): Barbara Gordon refuses to call Stephanie Brown by the name "Batgirl" after she takes over the persona. This is for a variety of personal and professional reasons, and she always refers to Stephanie by her proper name or with various pronouns, always avoiding the actual word "Batgirl." When she finally does use the term Stephanie recognizes that this signifies her acceptance and approval, and it gives her the motivation to persevere when fighting the Scarecrow. In Batgirl (2011), Barbara Gordon has to repeat several times her codename is Batgirl, not Batwoman. |

Injured wres... superstars are never taken to a hospital, but to a medical facilitynote Contrary to popular belief this isn't a Vince-ism, Jim Ross was using it long before he ever worked for the WWF. Jim Cornette explained on his podcast that this is a holdover from the territory days, saying "hospital" likely would have had fans actually going to the hospital to visit the babyface, who obviously wasn't even there, and that would expose the business. "Medical facility" is vague enough that there's really no way for anyone to call B.S. on it. | |

Some wrestlers, such as Ric Flair, have gotten away from some traditional terms like "heel", preferring to be called "bad guy" now that "marks" know it.note This is despite "heel" being another word for "jerk" in common parlance for at least as long as it has been used in pro wrestling. Fans are marks because they get hooked by angles but some fans identify as smarks, since they know pro wrestling is show business. The argument here is that marks still get worked and the only "smarts" are those who have worked in the industry and thus intimately know how to work marks. | |

In Batman: Arkham Origins, Jervice Tetch, the Mad Hatter, insists that he's not "crazy", he's mad. There is a difference... even if he can't remember it. Throughout the Batman: Arkham Series, Batman is very particular about how addresses his Rogues Gallery members. He may refer to them by their codenames, but he will not call them that to their face. Exceptions are The Joker, Ra's, and Bane, who have no known names besides those. Otherwise: Riddler, Penguin, Firefly, and Professor Pyg get a Last-Name Basis. This may be deliberate to tweak their noses. Hush, Two-Face, and Mister Freeze get a First-Name Basis. The first two are old friends or allies of Batman so that makes a certain amount of sense (he's definitely mocking Hush though), and calling Mister Freeze "Victor" may be due to his Tragic Villain status. Harley Quinn is the odd one out, who he always calls "Quinn". Which while the last name of her codename, isn't her real last name (Quinzel), making it an odd combination of using their last name and codename. |

One of the John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme Train Driver/Train Manager skits has the driver winding up the train manager by concluding a passenger announcement with "And when I say train manager, as we all know, I basically mean ticket inspector." The train manager insists that he is not a ticket inspector. An interview sketch has an actor insist he wasn't murdering people, just "bumping them off". To death. Patsy Straightwoman repeatedly notes this is just murder. |

In the Professor Layton games, don't bother trying to call Luke Triton anything other than Layton's apprentice. He simply will not accept any other name for their relationship. He even cuts off Layton himself whenever the professor tries to clarify it. And in Professor Layton and the Curious Village, Layton repeatedly corrects that he is not a detective, which is actually true; he's a college professor of archaeology who dabbles in puzzle solving. This doesn't stop the people of St. Mystere from constantly thinking that's the case, though. |

Suzuka from YuYu Hakusho somewhat fits this trope during his first appearance in the Dark Tournament. He insists on being called "The Beautiful Suzuka" and promises that anyone who doesn't refer to him as such will not live to repeat their mistake. When the foxgirl announcer Koto just calls him Suzuka, he shows his annoyance by hurling a razor sharp playing card at her head. She manages to duck as the card skewers the demon sitting behind her, scaring her enough to use Suzuka's title and constantly compliment him and his techniques during the match. And even once a whole two sagas later. | |

Legally, Transformers do not transform, and you will get in big trouble with Hasbro if you say they do. They "Convert" from one mode to another, and the difficulty rating theoretically measures difficulty of "conversion". The reasoning is if Transformers "transform", then "Transformers" is just a generic name for the type of toy they are, and thus cannot be preserved as a trademark. But if it "converts", then the generic term for transforming robot action figures is "converters", of which Transformers is one of the most successful brands. This is mostly ignored by the fiction, although there are points where Hasbro will step in. This can lead to some very silly situations, whether it's Optimus Prime being known for the order "Transform and roll out!" or the Magic: The Gathering cards having to call flipping the card from robot to vehicle or vice versa "converting" even though the game has used "transform" to refer to flipping cards between two states, printed on opposite sides, for a decade. | |
