About: Never Say That Again   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

This trope applies to words and names that when uttered cause a negative reaction on the listener's part. It may result from hearing a certain slang term or after a character gives Too Much Information--it might even have a potent psychological effect. Regardless of how it arises, the hapless hearer makes it clear to the speaker that this must not happen again. For instance, for some particularly lazy and/or slobby characters, benign words like "work" and "clean" have been known to cause shivers. This is usually followed by some variation of "don't say that word around me!"

Compare Words Can Break My Bones, Speak of the Devil, Incredibly Lame Pun, and in more lighthearted variants "No. Just... No" Reaction. Similar to The Scottish Trope, but without all the thunder and curse baggage. Examples of Never Say That Again include:
