About: You're Just Jealous   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A character has just won something which appears to be extremely valuable. But the character's friends will warn that the prize isn't as good as it seems -- or is actually dangerous. If the character brushes the friends' concerns off by saying, "You're just jealous," these concerns will inevitably turn out to be true. This trope can be weakly justified provided that the friend doesn't have any evidence to support their claims, but oftentimes they will have, if not outright evidence, at least a fairly well-reasoned argument that You're Just Jealous just brushes off.
