I'm not quite sure what that means.

Though this topic did remind me of Murenase! Shiiton Gakuen, which does follow that exact rule.

Isn't she more like an exception that proves the rule?

"The exception that proves the rule" doesn't mean that or anything like it. It's not the one time the rule failed so the rule is true, failing one time means a rule isn't true. It refers to statements like, 'No visitors after 6pm' which proves there's a rule allowing visitors before 6pm, or 'students permitted in store after 2:45' which means there's a rule not allowing students in during school hours.

Froppy's best friend is just a snake in a wig and we all have to make peace with that.

Don't let your jealousy of her luxurious natural locks blind your eyes with bitterness. Accept your hair just isn't as amazing as hers without trying to slander her, you'll feel better and it'll make Froppy happy.

When millions of people use a phrase in a certain way, the phrase means what they think it means. Doesn't matter if it was originally a misconception.

I had considered adding "and it has basically gained that definition at this point anyway." I would still call it a misconception, even if it's acceptable or whatever.

I'm not actually sure if it's millions. It is common though.
