:::::::::"Cherry Get" is more just an example of [[deliberately poor English]], since it's a video game. You know, though, I kinda like both those titles suggested. Every example follows the format "noun-verb", and they are all hyphenated words— though of course, there are a lot of hyphenated words that aren't a part of this joke. And I don't think subcategories would be necessary; they would be too short. Anyway, I think I like Gfd's idea best. {{User:SRMX12/sig}} 15:40, 16 June 2016 (UTC) | :::::::::"Cherry Get" is more just an example of [[deliberately poor English]], since it's a video game.

Revision as of 04:42, 17 June 2016
Two issues
- The name. I seriously doubt that anyone, be they an expert on H*R or not, would ever search for "Hyphen-have" when looking for a page like this. What better names could this article be known as?
- The appearances. At the moment, no older toons are listed, and I can't think of any appearances off the top of my head that are from older toons. This may sound silly, but is there a rule against every instance of a running gag being from newer toons? It's just that I have... something against articles about running gags that are exclusive to newer toons.

- The ability to search for a name is not the most important part of a name, but whether the name accurately covers the topic. The fact is, more often a page is going to be found by someone clicking on a link than searching for a specific page. That's not what a rename issue is about.
- No, there's no such rule. A running gag could turn up at any time. Onion Bubs is pretty recent, for example.

- I think "X-Have" may be a better name. --NobleSkull 19:49, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- "Noun-Verb"?
