[[Popcultural Osmosis|Culturally ingrained ]] from ''[[Monopoly]]'' (the most commercially successful American board game [[Kanye West|of all time]]), this has become a [[Stock Phrase]] for anything that must happen ''immediately'' with no waiting, no intermissions, no detours, stops or breaks until it is completed.
 
In normal Monopoly play, the starting corner square is marked "Go" and instructs the player to collect $200 each time they pass over it; the "Go to Jail" card (as pictured) makes it very clear that any player who draws this card must move their token ''directly'' to the "Jail" square, and may ''not'' pass over "Go" en route and collect the usual $200.
