A version of my other topic, https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=cblhnotx1sq6dbax9h47ze2z except with trope titles instead.

Take a trope title (old ones count too) and add, remove, or change a single letter to turn it into something different. Optionally, give a synopsis of what this new trope is about. Examples:

Change a letter: TV Gropes: This alternate version of the wiki is quite touching...whether you want it to be or not.

Add a letter: Deus Rex Machina: A hopeless situation is resolved by a T-Rex bursting into the room.

Remove a letter: Too Many Bets: When a character is in denial about his gambling addiction.

Let's hear yours.

Heel Face Urn: Achilles' weak spot is identified on an urn. His face is in agony. Works that feature this trope have the person in pain with a really weird face. Could be an actual trope.
