trope 

Despite the erroneous definitions already published here, TROPE on the interwebs really refers to an often overused plot device. It can also be described as another variation on the same theme. TV shows, movies, comics, games, anime', & books are full of tropes & many rabid fan-sites now name & track said tropes with a self-explanatory title for each one.

Not all tropes are bad, until Hollywood gets stuck on one.

Q: Did you see "Brokeback Mountain"?
A: That film just used the "Bury Your Gays" trope to make it dramatic. You know, where a gay character has to always die in the story.

Girl: When is Hollywood gonna get tired of the "Friendly Neighborhood Vampire" trope?
Guy: I blame Angel & Spike.
Girl: I blame the Count on Sesame Street.
Guy: Nah, Count Chocula totally invented that scene.

TV Tropes

A notably addictive wiki where thousands of tropes and idioms throughout creative works are collected, defined, and expanded. Though it originally only focused on tropes within television shows (hence the name), it now covers literature, comic books, anime, manga, western animation, video games, film, webcomics, web animation, music, and others. Unlike Wikipedia (which "tropers" call "The Other Wiki"), there is no such thing as notability on TV Tropes.

TV Tropes will ruin your life.

Twopence ha'penny millionaire 

A person who pretends to have millions of pounds in the bank, but actually struggles to find a penny to scratch their ass with (A twopence halfpenny is the equivalent of pound sterling 2.5pence).

Usually walks around in fake designer clothes/clutching an imitation designer bag. Alternatively, they may have one genuine designer item with which they parade around with consistently. Can also apply to people who emphasise what they actually do have, or lie about what they have e.g. the size of their home/their earnings/the make of their car.
If being extremely stereotypical, it would be accurate to say that twopence ha'penny millionaires are usually insecure and rely on this behaviour to get attention or gain some credibility.

Girl 1: Ooooh, look at my new Louis Vuitton handbag, it cost £124930843025843
Girl 2: Hang on I swear you bought that out the back of that van in Turkey?
Girl 3: Yeah she did, she's not fooling anyone, she's just a twopence ha'penny millionaire

TV Tropes

TV Tropes is a wiki that collects and expands descriptions and examples on various conventions and devices (tropes) found within creative works. Since its establishment in 2004, the site has gone from covering only television and film tropes to also covering those in a number of other media such as literature, comics, video games, and even things such as advertisements and toys. The nature of the site as commentary about pop culture and fiction has attracted attention and commentary from several web personalities and blogs.

The content was published as free content from April 2008, and changed its license over the years to one allowing noncommercial distribution.

TV Tropes initially focused on the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and has since increased its scope to include thousands of other series, films, novels, plays, professional wrestling, video games, anime, manga, comic strips and books, fan fiction, and many other subjects, including Internet works such as Wikipedia, which is referred to in-wiki as "The Other Wiki". It has also used its informal style to describe topics such as science, philosophy, politics, and history under its Useful Notes section. TV Tropes does not have notability standards for the works it covers.
