Bawwwwww TvTropes potholes too much!

Myrmidon

Just get over it.

RedEyedAbyss

Potholing does tend to be a symptom of the general community's faux cleverness.

Myrmidon

There is no such thing as faux cleverness. Something is clever, or it is not.

ClockworkUniverse

^Sure there is. Lots of people like to pretend they're clever when they aren't.

I don't mind potholes.

I find them amusing.

DYRE

It's kind of fun to try to guess what someone's potholing to before you mouse over the link.

But it's usually really easy.  Unless you tell people you're doing that, and then they deliberately pothole to completely arbitrary things.

Tnophelia

Links please.

I have never seen this mentioned, in liek, ever.

Longfellow

My faux cleverness goes beyond normal users; I'll put potholes in my punctuations to reward the attentive reader.

DYRE

That's a pretty bad pothole.

The city's going to need to fix that.  Looks like it could be dangerous.

I'd Rather Have Potholes than tropers who Talk Like This.

Tnophelia

I'd rather have PotHoles than Tropers.

Khwarizmi

I only dislike potholes when they appear self-aggrandising or insult the reader's intelligence.

I wonder how many people have potholed a 1st-person pronoun to Crystal Dragon Jesus.

Tnophelia

So you like Dragon Ball Z huh? I assumed so.

DYRE

So you know that to add 1/3 and 1/4 you have to rewrite them as 4/12 and 3/12 huh? I assumed so.
