Fiction Descriptions (1)

A list of fictional descriptions I use for various things found in fiction, be it Movies, TV shows, Novels or Comic Books.

Cabbagehead-This is where a character, who should know better, plays dumb and acts like they don't know something they should know. This is typicaly done to give the readers/viewers information they need in the plot.

Technobable-This is meaningless science sounding talk.

White Elephant-This is an important items that is lost accendently, often by carelessness, to draw out a stoerline.

Diamond Elephant-This is an important, iconic item that the character can never, ever loose. No matter what the character wil get the item back by the end of the story.

A Causal Effect-This is where something happens to a specific item or character becasue it won't matter in the long run.

G-Clothing-This is odd clothing that no matter what covers a characters private parts.

Deep Pockets-This is the ability of a character to carry around a large amout of bulky items unseen, until the plot calls for them.

Phantasmal Death-This is a dramatic looking death for a character, at least when it happens. It gives a false sense of drama at that time. Though the character will pop up later, having just ducked in time or whatever.

Anything Power-This is a power that can do anything. Almost.

Anythingneasha-This is when a character forgets they have an anything power and what they can do.
