Thing-O-Matic
A common way for mad scientists to name machines, devices, and gadgets: take the thing's function and add -O-Matic or inator to the end. These tend to do exactly what they sound like they do. Usually, they won't give any explanation at all how they do what they do, and no matter how outlandish the science, or specific the purpose, they won't be able to do anything else.
Unmourned Death
Alice had died in a collision, and there was much indifference.
Some characters are so hated, their death results in widespread partying. Others elicit no reaction whatsoever. This trope is for the latter, a character's death making no noticeable difference to their friends and family (if any).
It can be used for Black Comedy, but it's usually Played for Drama to portray the dead person as The Woobie
