Basic Trope: A character, most often male, gets hit in his genitals. * Straight: Alice kicks Bob's groin out of frustration towards the latter. * Exaggerated: * ... But she still needs to get rid of some more anger, so she hits Bob a few times with a diamond-studded sledgehammer. * Bob was wearing glasses when he got hit. The glasses shatter because having a guy keel over simply isn't enough. * Alice kicks Bob in the crotch so hard he vomits blood * Justified: * Bob is actually impervious to all damage except for attacks aimed at his groin. * Alternatively, let's face it, the groin is a very sensitive area. Getting impacted there would really hurt. * Bob is a misogynist asshole, and anyone (males included) will gladly kick him in his balls, over and over
