You’ll have to pay if you use the phrase “It’s on like Donkey Kong”

Don’t try using that phrase casually, though, as Nintendo – which has actually trademarked the catchphrase – now has legal rights to the popular quip. According to announcements at the time of the company’s request from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, this was done “in honor” of the then-impending debut of Donkey Kong Country Returns.
