It would be under Improvised Weapon. I don't think we have a trope for that alone.
Is there a trope for when a character uses a sock filled with nickels (or change, in general) as a weapon? Off the top of my head, in Death Wish, Bronson beats some guy with a sock filled with quarters and in Arrested Development it's mentioned in a play being put on by the warden. Also, I was watching TV a few weeks back (Hawaii Five 0? In Plain Sight?) where someone's rap sheet mentions that they beat someone to death with a sock filled with nickels, and the other investigator asks "Loose or rolled?".
If not, does this need a YKTTW or is it too... People Sit In Chairs-ish.
