* "May the odds be ever in your favor." This phrase, while not originally created by Suzanne Collins, gained significant traction and became synonymous with The Hunger Games.
* "The reaping." This refers to the annual selection of tributes for the Games, and the phrase itself has entered the lexicon as a way to describe any sort of random or harsh selection process.
* "The Mockingjay." This was originally a symbol of rebellion in Panem, but the character of Katniss Everdeen took on the role of the Mockingjay, making it a powerful symbol of hope and resistance.
While these phrases and concepts were not entirely original to the series, The Hunger Games certainly popularized them and gave them new meaning.
