Basic Trope: When someone says a group of people, another character says "Even X?", to which the first one says "Especially X!"
- Straight: Alice has a secret and tells Bob not to tell anyone. Bob, referring to his dog, says "Even Fido?". Alice replies "Especially Fido."
- Exaggerated: "Don't tell Fido. Or anyone else."
- Downplayed: "Yes, even Fido."
- Justified: Little does Bob know, that Fido can talk. And he's not very good at keeping secrets.
- Inverted: Alice has big news and says to Bob "Tell everyone...except Fido."
- Subverted: ???
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: "Especially not Fido, or the baby, or your imaginary friend."
- Averted: "Well, I guess you can tell Fido as he can't speak."
- Zigzagged: Alice flips between thinking Fido is an exception, or part of it, or if it especially applies to Fido.
- Enforced: The writers want to leave clues that Fido is not what he seems.
- Lampshaded: "Why the dog especially?"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed:Alice: "Don't tell anyone."
Bob: "Even Fido?"
Alice: "Especially Fido"
Bob: "Why him especially?"
Alice: "That's another secret." - Conversed: "The "especially" trope just doesn't make sense"
- Played for Drama: The Big Bad says "I plan to kill everyone." Bob says "Even Fido?" and the villain says "Especially Fido"
