That's a new one for me. How about using in context? I have no idea what it may mean.
The Westerner taking up with the noble savages and becoming their leader like in Avatar, Dances with Wolves, Ferngulley, Last Samurai, Pocohantas, and A Man Called Horse is a trope.
Unobtanium is a SciFi trope, aka "Hand Waving" Used in many movies and books.
Which 3 guns do you take if you had to go back in time to 1800 is a gunnie trope, maybe.
In Star Trek, the Red Shirt is a trope.
Shotgun blast that knock you off your feet, back 12 feet, and through a plate glass window is a trope.

"Trope" is what people mean when they say "meme."
