Trope
Refers to a conventional literary device or figure of speech in which elements within a story plot, setting, characterization, or 'behind the scenes' of a fanwork (or canon source material) are a common concept that audiences are already familiar with and can easily recognize. Tropes are related to the concept of clichés but are not actually the same thing, especially in that they are not necessarily overused to the point of being distracting. Rather tropes are significant or recurrent themes whose universality makes them a convenient way to show familiar concepts.
Moonbeam's Note: There is a very informative (and addictive!) wiki, Television Tropes & Idioms (aka "TV Tropes"), which seeks to fully exemplify as many tropes as possible in a variety of media. The site also includes some classic clichés and idioms, as well.
