* VorpalPillow: How the gang attempts to [[spoiler:silence Anne. Unfortunately for them (and "fortunately" for Anne), [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome it's a lot harder to smother someone to death than the movies make it seem]], and ultimately Anne is shown to have survived the whole ordeal, putting the gang's future in serious doubt.]]

* ButtMonkey: Marjorie. Aside from getting passed over for promotion in her job and alluding to a poverty-stricken background when she mentions that her family could never afford a piano, she's blatantly the least respected member of the group. At least to Emily and Kim. First, she's called out by Emily for "Talking like an ape," just for saying "I'm game." Then Emily talks about setting her up with a gas station attendant who she finds unattractive. Then she's complimented for having "great tits" by Emily. Later, during the home invasion, she's chewed out by Kim for "dressing like a whore" (Though, to Kim's credit, she was under a great amount of stress.) Finally, she has the most unflattering breakdown of the women after [[spoiler: Lily's death.]] where she turns into a hyperventilating, sobbing, barely functional mess.

No longer a trope. Replacement must be intentional not an interpretation.
