Albumless Single: A single not tied to any studio album.
Often, but not always, for a soundtrack or other promotion.
Annoying for collectors, but Greatest Hits might help. Less bad in digital age.
Mixtapes and early musicians.

Hey Arnold
Abner:
- Art Evolution: While Abner is still a pig in the Hey Arnold art style, his model is slightly chubbier in The Jungle Movie than the original run of the show.
- Crotch-Glance Sex Check: In "The Journal", Miles and Stella receive a pig as a gift from The Green-Eyed People. Stella mistakes the pig as a female and wants to call it "Isabel", but her husband changes the name to "Abner" when he sees its crotch after he opens the blanket the pig was wrapped in.
- Evil-Detecting Dog: Abner screeches like crazy when he sees Lasombra’s boat heading towards the boat that Arnold & his classmates are on. He also acts this way around "Eduardo", an early hint that he's up to no good.
- Housepet Pig: Arnold Shortman has a pet pig named Abner who acts more like a dog than a pig. He was actually a gift from the Green Eyes to the Shortmans.
- I'm a Humanitarian: Abner has a taste for bacon, which Arnold has no problem feeding him. Mr. Hyunh finds it very creepy.
- Ironic Name: Arnold's pet pig is named Abner. In the Hebrew Bible, Abner was the commander-in-chief for King Saul, the first king of Israel. Jews don't eat pork because they consider pigs unclean.

- House Rules:
- The Free Parking Jackpot rule. Under the official game rules, nothing happens on Free Parking. Coming up with a use for it is one of the more popular house rules. Most house rules for Free Parking involve some kind of monetary reward; for example, setting aside any money lost due to the two tax spaces, Chance or Community Chest and making that the Free Parking prize. The official game rules actively discourage using Free Parking for this purpose, since the more money there is in play, the more difficult it is to force other players into bankruptcy. And games take long enough as it is. A possible solution offered by a number of online sites is to also add a win condition for reaching a certain amount of capital.
- Officially, if there is a housing shortage, no property with a hotel can be mortgaged until the housing shortage is taken care of. A common house rule is to permit the skipping of houses in the building cycle in both directions, provided that the player can afford 4 houses on all properties AND THEN the hotel for each one.
- The most frequently ignored official rule is this: if you decline to purchase a property that you landed on, it is supposed to be immediately put up to auction for anyone to buy. Most house rules simply declare a turn to be over if this happens, skipping the auction process. This rule is partially responsible for Monopoly's reputation as a glacially-slow exercise in tedium; the faster the properties are bought up, the faster the real game (i.e. the trading) can get started. Ironically, most people ignore this rule because the auction process sounds tedious.
- A few players go in the other direction and immediately put up properties for auction as soon as someone lands on them, with no chance to buy them at face value first.
- There used to be rules on the web of a two-board variant called Mafia Monopoly that required four players minimum, with each board being home turf to a gang. They were later removed.
- There's a house rule that forbids buying property until you've completed one lap round the board. It's intended to Nerf the advantage of going first and put the players on a more even playing field, but it just unbalances the field even more since you often get at least one player who lands on Chance and draws "Advance to Go" or "Take a ride on the Reading" on their first turn and at least one player who keeps going to Jail to their increasing frustration.
- According to the official rules, a player being in Jail doesn't stop them collecting rent if another player lands on their properties or building houses/hotels. As such, a common house rule prevents either of these actions taking place, making jail more of a punishment for everyone.
- Another house rule is that the player with the most money at the end of an agreed-on time limit is the winner, regardless of whether anyone else is bankrupt. The Canadianopoly version of the game actually includes this in the official rules.
