Editing Monopoly (game) (section)

==Figurative language==
Monopoly's popularity has led to it spawning a number of English turns of phrase. These include:
* [[Rich Uncle Pennybags]], also known as "Mr. Monopoly", the game's mascot character
* [[Get Out of Jail Free card]], a popular metaphor for something that will get one out of an undesired situation
* [[Monopoly money|''Monopoly'' money]], a derisive term to refer to money not really worth anything, or at least not being used as if it is worth anything. It could also allude to colorful currency notes used in some countries, such as [[Canadian dollar|Canada]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=August 18, 2011 |title=Canadian Money – How to Understand & Identify our Monopoly Bills |url=https://ibackpackcanada.com/canadian-money-how-to-understand-identify-our-monopoly-bills/ |website=I Backpack Canada |access-date=May 22, 2021}}</ref>
* "[[wiktionary:do not pass go, do not collect $200|Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200]]" is a phrase used in ''Monopoly'' that has become widely used in popular culture to describe an action forced upon a person that has only negative results.<ref name="Colarusso1992">{{Cite book |last=Calvin A.

Each deck has a card that reads "GO TO JAIL: Go directly to Jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200."<ref name="Sommers-FlanaganSommers-Flanagan2012">{{Cite book |last1=John Sommers-Flanagan |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RMclh6zR3LEC&pg=PA361 |title=Counseling and Psychotherapy Theories in Context and Practice: Skills, Strategies, and Techniques |last2=Rita Sommers-Flanagan |publisher=John Wiley & Sons |year=2012 |isbn=978-1-118-28904-4 |page=361 |access-date=June 25, 2013}}</ref> Early in the game, going to Jail usually hurts a player as it prevents them from moving, which regularly leads to earning $200 from passing Go, and from landing on and buying property, though in the later game, jail prevents them from landing on others' developed property and having to pay rent. The cited phrase, "Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200", distinguishes the effect from other cards that move players; other cards use the phrasing "Advance to [a particular location]", which does allow the player to collect $200 if they pass Go during the advance. The phrase is used in popular culture to denote a situation in which there is only one immediate, highly unfavorable, irreversible outcome and has been described as a "harsh cliché".<ref name="Serim2011">{{Cite book |last=Ferdi Serim |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LjehHsQt0cEC&pg=PT138 |title=Digital Learning: Strengthening and Assessing 21st Century Skills, Grades 5-8 |publisher=John Wiley & Sons |year=2011 |isbn=978-1-118-13107-7 |page=138 |access-date=June 25, 2013}}</ref><ref name="SYH-20130610">{{Cite news |last=Morris |first=Linda |date=June 10, 2013 |title=Harmony now the name of the game |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |url=https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/harmony-now-name-of-the-game-20130609-2nxy8.html |access-date=June 25, 2013}}</ref><ref name="NAF-20130507">{{Cite web |last=Lounder |first=Andrew |date=May 7, 2013 |title=The Academic Graveyard Shift: IRS Provides Guidance on Identifying Institutional Peers |url=http://higheredwatch.newamerica.net/blogposts/2013/the_academic_graveyard_shift_irs_provides_guidance_on_identifying_institutional_peers |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130913054902/http://higheredwatch.newamerica.net/blogposts/2013/the_academic_graveyard_shift_irs_provides_guidance_on_identifying_institutional_peers |archive-date=September 13, 2013 |access-date=June 25, 2013 |publisher=[[New America Foundation]]}}</ref>
