What does the keyword "title-in-title" mean?
I'm baffled. 197 films have this keyword, including "Queen of the South", "Basic Instinct", "The Princess Bride". Is this supposed to mean the title is spoken during the film, or what? Should this be changed?

My best guess is this keyword was originally intended to refer to this meaning of "title" in the first instance:
And this meaning of "title" in the second instance:
I say that because many of the titles with that keyword include words like "queen," "king," "princess," "emperor," etc. Even "Dr." is included, and a doctorate can be an honorific similar to a title.
With that said, the keyword has been diluted to the point of meaninglessness, probably by other users who meant to add other keywords like "title-spoken-by-character" or "name-in-title" or something like that.
It was never a good keyword to begin with, given its vagueness. I would support full deletion and blocking of these two keywords:
