Jay: Is the new guy in the Compliance department married or gay?
Paige: Why?
Jay: Cuz I like being the only straight, single guy in this company. Lots of pretty girls here, and only me to flirt with.
Paige: that's creepy.
Rick: No, he's just trying to protect his manopoly.
How married men maintain their mistresses, instinctively reappearing just as saidmistress is about to move on. Manopoly is a check in on his territory just often enough to ensure there is no room for competitors to move into his market.
I was going to go out with that new guy I met, but it's been 3 weeks since I heard from (married boyfriend's name) and I think we are playing Manopoly this weekend. I don't want to miss that.
Knife monopoly is simple, and it makes sense since you are likely to get stabbed in the back in business anyway. You play regular monopoly, but every time you buy a house you balance a steak knife on the edge of a shelf that is suspended above you. When someone lands on that property, prior to paying you, they get the option to jump up and down on the ground to possibly shake a knife loose. They have to pay double rent for this option. If you get stabbed in the back by a knife, then you lose that property and the houses on that set of properties are cleared from the board. The knives associated with those properties are also removed from the shelf. If you put a hotel down, then you have to balance a large kitchen knife on the business shelf. If you get stabbed by that knife, you lose a single hotel. If you die from that knife, then you lose 2 hotels.

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
