Get Out of Jail Free card

Get Out of Jail Free card (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

A card in the game of Monopoly. OK, so maybe it is mainstream enough to be a metephorical idiom in English, but I don't think that is enough. I was going to redirect it to References to the board game Monopoly in popular culture or even to Monopoloy (game), but thought the best way to deal with it was having it deleted.

  • Keep It's in the pop culture enough to be used in movies from time to time. It is something someone might actually look for in an encyclopedia. Not paper Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 13:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep This is one of the few times I would actually invoke "WP is not paper". This is certainly not a topic any normal encyclopedia would cover, but I think the phrase and penetrated the English lexicon enough to be notable in and of itself. (Sidebar: Though I generally dislike Monopoly, I have two t-shirts which are orange and yellow, one stating "Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200" and the other stating "Get out of jail free- this shirt may be kept until needed, or sold".) -- Kicking222 13:46, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
