Well not quite, but for a show that is so full of tropes, it is quite tempting to just try and define it with a single short unusually captialised phrase so we might as well use the one it already provided for us. One can consider the ending then as the invalidation of the title. One could argue that the show got the perfect ending for itself length since we managed to explore trying to invalid the title in several ways. So how is the title invalidated...

We killed her twice and her friends kept bringing her back. * * Vampire : We couldn't get rid of vampires or the evil in general that bug people. No matter how many vamps bit the dust, no matter how many BigBads were taught a lesson, there was always another around the corner. * * Slayer : Well, we can't get rid of the evils of the world so we need a slayer. If you kill her, aside from coming back anyway, another one pops up in her place. She can try giving up but after some Wangst and some Epiphany Therapy she'll be back. So how is the title invalidated... * * The: at the very end, the end of the show was the loss of the definite article. Buffy releases the magics that limits the number of slayer to one and the final shot is her now considering her new place in the world. Once that happens all the themes come to a head. Buffy could die and we wouldn't notice. The Vampires can be Slayed by someone else. This change is debatable because it is frequently said in the show and later in its comic spin off that despite there being other vampire slayers Buffy is THE vampire slayer.
