Possibly "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome" if he starts out important then vanishes.
Realistically, we should just name this BSB trope "The Winking Effect" (wink and you'll miss him) or something and note that of all the Boys, this is most likely to happen to Howie and least likely to happen to Nick.

Yes!! The Winking Effect! You're good at coming up with names for these.

Thanks, now we're back to our skip ahead and Nick gets to beat up another door, haha. I always get stuck on word choice. I spent such a long time looking up different "hit" verbs to finally settle on "bash."

My comedic brevity and expertise in tropes join together into a naming superpower, haha. Having the list of tropes would be funny, but looking for works that utilize them would be time consuming. We'd probably have to have authors self-submit or readers recommend works be added to a page.

Oh definitely. I'm not looking to start a whole wiki for this. Just a funny list would be good!
