Tv Tropes Never Get Hurt Again

Valerie: He'south afraid. Always since Prince Humperdinck fired him, his confidence has shattered.
Phenomenon Max: Why'd y'all say that name? You promised me that yous would never say that name!
Valerie: What, Humperdinck?
Miracle Max: Aaahh!
Valerie: Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck! [et cetera]

This trope applies to words and names that when uttered cause a negative reaction on the listener'south part, and may fifty-fifty be a Berserk Push. Might be a young person'due south reaction to an older person beingness Totally Radical. It may result from hearing a certain slang term or afterward a character gives Too Much Information — it might even have a strong psychological result. Regardless of how information technology arises, the hapless hearer makes it clear to the speaker that this must non happen again.

For instance, for some particularly lazy and/or slobby characters, benign words like "work" and "clean" take been known to cause shivers. This is usually followed by some variation of "don't say that give-and-take effectually me!"

Compare Words Tin can Break My Bones, Speak of the Devil, Lame Pun Reaction, and in more lighthearted variants "No. Just... No" Reaction. Similar to The Scottish Trope, simply without all the thunder and expletive baggage. This response may be prompted by a Noodle Incident.
