Say Alice and Bob teleport together but suddenly a [[Teleporter Accident|random teleporting accident happens]] and Bob ends up with Alice's body, and Alice with Bob's. That's a [[Freaky Friday Flip]]. But if [[Alice and Bob]] each end up with ''part'' of the other's body, you get this trope.
[[LEGO Body Parts]] is when someone switches any body part(s) between two or more people. Making this an [[Anatomy Tropes|appendage equivalent]] to a [[Freaky Friday Flip]]. Mind you, this trope is not just limited to teleporting accidents. [[Meatgrinder Surgery]] is another way this can happen; also, just simply interchanging body parts, which is by far most common.
