@pie_flavor Untitled Airlines:
Untitled Airlines is an airline based in the Untitled States, but is still allowed to fly outside of it. Established in 1974 after a minor clerical error led to a corporate merger between Northwest National Airlines, the Muay Thai Boxing Association, and a disorganized sock drawer, the company is one of the largest operating airlines in the world and is known to cause cancer in the state of California.
The company is world-renowned for its planes, which feature both wings and sometimes landing wheels. They are ranked among the airlines in service in customer satisfaction, and are famous for their notoriety.

@error_bot jargon luser
-
The Jargon File said in http://catb.org/jargon/html/L/luser.html
luser
luser: /loo�zr/, n.[common] A user; esp. one who is also a loser. (luser and loser are pronounced identically.) This word was coined around 1975 at MIT. Under ITS, when you first walked up to a terminal at MIT and typed Control-Z to get the computer's attention, it printed out some status information, including how many people were already using the computer; it might print “14 users”, for example. Someone thought it would be a great joke to patch the system to print “14 losers” instead. There ensued a great controversy, as some of the users didn't particularly want to be called losers to their faces every time they used the computer. For a while several hackers struggled covertly, each changing the message behind the back of the others; any time you logged into the computer it was even money whether it would say “users” or “losers”. Finally, someone tried the compromise “lusers”, and it stuck. Later one of the ITS machines supported luser as a request-for-help command. ITS died the death in mid-1990, except as a museum piece; the usage lives on, however, and the term luser is often seen in program comments and on Usenet. Compare mundane, muggle, newbie, chainik.

@error_bot tvtropes Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies

TV Tropes said in https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RocksFallEveryoneDies
"You and your group of nerds fall into a pit and it's full of dynamite and you blow up. The end."—Rodrick, Diary of a Wimpy KidThis is what happens in Tabletop RPGs when the Game Master gets utterly fed up with the players: he kills them all spectacularly.
Precisely what drives a GM to this extreme varies. Perhaps somebody was a Rules Lawyer once too often. Perhaps the gaming group mocked his plotting skills a bit too much. The players might have spent all their time going everywhere but where the plot wants them to. Maybe the group consisted entirely of Munchkins. Maybe they didn't like that "totally awesome" GMPC as much as the GM did and tried to kill him in his sleep. Or maybe the players are just Too Dumb to Live. Or maybe, just maybe, the GM is a sadistic bastard who's determined to see the players fail at any cost.
Regardless of the cause, if the GM goes as far as Rocks Fall Everyone Dies, the campaign has failed on a grand scale. Maybe it's time to stop the metagaming, let somebody else GM, or just find a new gaming group altogether.
A lesser form of this trope can target just one particularly annoying player, often with a bolt of lightning. Since the GM is the local god, this works even if the target character is underground, in a Faraday cage and wearing a static discharge bracelet. Merely threatening players with lightning can also be effective in controlling players. The first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Masters' Guide even suggested using "blue bolts from the heavens" and "ethereal mummies" on PCs to keep their players in line.
The webcomic Something*Positive provides the Trope Namer in this strip. The underlying concept stretches back to the beginning of Tabletop RPGs, having been seen in the extremely deadly AD&D adventure Tomb of Horrors in 1975 (and quite likely used by individual DMs even before that). This ending is a Tabletop Games form of Shoot the Shaggy Dog, or Kill 'Em All when premeditated. A subtrope of Total Party Kill. When the players decide to detonate the game instead of the GM, it's Off the Rails. A nigh-unbeatable Beef Gate used this way is sometimes referred to as a "Grudge Monster" or "Grudge NPC."
Not to be confused with Big Rock Ending.
Referenced on 1d4chan, the archive for 4chan's /tg/ board on this page.
NOTE: This is not just a trope for everyone in a story dying. That is Kill 'Em All.
Also, do not add examples about the extinction of the dinosaurs. They are not a part of this trope. They too fall under Kill 'Em All.

@error_bot tvtropes Stuffed into the Fridge

TV Tropes said in https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StuffedIntoTheFridge
"Well, there goes my appetite.""...If my enemies knew I had someone special, they wouldn't rest until they had gotten to me through her."A character is killed off in a particularly gruesome manner and left to be found just to offend or insult someone, or to cause someone serious anguish. The usual victims are those who matter to the hero, specifically best buddies, love interests, and sidekicks. In some cases, the doomed character may be killed by natural forces or by a character who doesn't have the intent to cause someone else angst—in this case, the intent comes solely from the writer, who wants to rouse strong emotions in another character. If the said character was killed by a villain, this guarantees to become a motivation for a Revenge plot or an immediate Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
The name of the trope comes from a storyline in Green Lantern, in which the villain Major Force leaves the corpse of Kyle Rayner's girlfriend, Alexandra DeWitt, literally stuffed into a refrigerator for him to find. Years later, Major Force repeated the gimmick with Kyle's mother in an oven. It was just a trick with a mannequin that time, though.
The term (sometimes formed as "fridging") was popularized by comic book writer Gail Simone through her website "Women in Refrigerators." On that site, Simone compiled a list of instances of female comic book characters who were killed off as a plot device. The term came to be used more broadly, over time, to refer to any character who is targeted by an antagonist who has them killed off, abused, raped, incapacitated, de-powered, or brainwashed for the sole purpose of affecting another character, motivating them to take action.
While it is strictly true that Tropes Are Not Bad, this one, especially as a catchphrase, is often given a very negative connotation as it is all too often a hallmark of supremely lazy writing—using the death of a character as "cheap anger" for the protagonist, and devaluing the life of that character in the process, instead of giving the villain something actually interesting to do that can involve all three characters and more emotions than simple anger and angst.
This trope appears in many media. The Throw-Away Country is an extreme example, and the Doomed Hometown is in many ways the RPG Video Game equivalent. See also Disposable Woman, I Let Gwen Stacy Die, and Finger in the Mail. Compare What Measure Is a Mook?. If it happens to multiple love interests of the same character, said character likely suffers from the Cartwright Curse. The intended effect is very much akin to Cheap Heat.
Compare Collateral Angst, a more general case where bad things happening to Character A are primarily important for their effect on Character B. Also compare Death by Origin Story. Depending on how useful/interesting the character is, and whether their death was pointless or not, can overlap with Dropped a Bridge on Him. Not to be confused with being Put on a Bus as a Human Popsicle. Also not related to Fridge Logic, Fridge Horror, or Fridge Brilliance. Also don't confuse with Locked in a Freezer or It Came from the Fridge. See Body in a Breadbox and Dead Man's Chest for other types of storing a dead body. Also compare The Murder After, when the corpse is discovered in bed.
If the love interest who gets Stuffed Into the Fridge remains relevant to the ongoing story, continuing to be loved and missed by living characters, sometimes to the point of appearing in flashbacks and dream sequences, and is the standard by which any subsequent love interests are measured by, she "graduates" to being a Lost Lenore—in quotation marks as the trope still needs to be handled with care to avoid being tasteless. The aforementioned scenario also guarantees to have the survivor becoming a Crusading Widower. Related to Men Are the Expendable Gender as that trope is part of the reason this trope applies more to women.
It should be noted that while the term most commonly applies to a male character's female love interest, it can actually be used in numerous different scenarios of both sexes and different relations from romantic, platonic and familial. The core part is that one character is killed (or at least, has something very bad happen to them) for the sake of causing emotional trauma for the target, with said victim often acting as a plot device more than a real character in the worst-case scenarios. As such, the trope is not Always Female as some would think, despite the sexist ramifications, but rather can apply to just about anyone.

TV Tropes said in https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButThouMust
Choice #4: Hack the game to add "Sure thing!""That illusion of choice was just a formality. Your task has already been decided, you see."The video game version of You Can't Fight Fate. In video games, the main character has two jobs: in the plot, he is The Hero of his motley crew of rebellious aristocracy, mysterious girls, and many others. He's The Leader, the Designated Point Man, calling the shots. He's also, however, the player's avatar in the game world. Therefore, it's becoming increasingly common for the other characters to turn to you and ask (in the form of a multiple-choice question and Dialogue Tree) what they should do in any given situation.
The problem, however, is this: The writer already has the script plotted out, and your decision, whatever it is, is going to affect all of jack squat. Either the other characters will just ignore the answer and get on with what you're supposed to be doing, or they'll ask the question over and over until you make the "correct" choice. You might see some altered dialogue or a slightly different scene, but the plot itself will remain unchanged. In particularly egregious cases, such as the page image, the dialogue tree will give you multiple "yes" options but not a single "no." For example an NPC may be planning to commit suicide, but there's no dialogue tree labelled 'Take a dive' because they're needed later on. Also your character would look like a sociopath.
Occasionally a game utilizing this trope will toss in a question where an incorrect answer results in a Nonstandard Game Over. Such questions are usually pretty obvious (the Big Bad asking you to become his disciple, for example), though, so it's easy to avoid falling into that trap. Either way, this represents the game forcing you to Follow the Plotted Line, period.
In some games, particularly in Sierra adventure games, answering a choice incorrectly can leave the game in an Unwinnable state. An example is the salesman in Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter, where you have to refuse the first offer from him, then wait for him to reappear so he offers you a jetpack, which is critical later on. Guide Dang It!!
This trope doesn't apply for games that make heavy use of a Story Branching, such as the Ogre Battle series, or most western RPGs. In those games, your decisions can and will direct the plot, albeit usually on a pre-programmed branch.
Another way to make these questions relevant is to tie them into Relationship Values — your decisions might not change the overall plot, but they will change how other characters perceive you, which might open or close off some future options for useful stuff.
Named after one of the first instances of the trope, from the original Dragon Quest.
See also Railroading. Compare Stupidity Is the Only Option, Morton's Fork. Contrast You Can't Get Ye Flask, where the game simply doesn't understand when you attempt to do something outside its scripted plot. Video Games and Fate can be a way to justify this in-universe.
