1 if by subway, 2 if by Uber

(n.) A phrase often shouted at pregames, "1 if by subway, 2 if by Uber" is a management technique to cluster the party into people taking public transport and those taking a taxi to go out.

A play on Paul Revere's "1 if by land, 2 if by sea" exclamation from 1774. Happens to be a convenient proxy to segment the group into the wealthy and poor.
Paul: "1 IF BY SUBWAY, 2 IF BY UBER."
Jim: "1!"
Maddox Witcroft, IV: "What a peasant."
