Whether you've been grounded by your parent even though you didn't do it, or your significant other wants to break up with you, or you just can't seem to be able finish your sentence when you can't comprehend a situation, a single conjunction can help fill up this incomprehension. "But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But." In any case, it can be responded to with "no 'buts', Mister/Miss," "don't throw your 'buts' at me," or anything other related to butts. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })An alternate form is used in opposite circumstances, when a character wants their audience to clearly understand there is a 'but', and wants them to listen to what comes after it: "BUT! But-but-but-but-buuuuuuut! Buuuut..." See also Rapid-Fire "No!", Rapid-Fire "Yes!", and Rapid-Fire "Shut Up!" for more related rapid-fire word tropes. Examples: |
