Characters from the Capitol are defined by their speech. “May the odds be ever in your favour” (a catchphrase of District 12 escort Effie Trinket among others) is not only somewhat archaic in its phrasing but it is easily parodied. Katniss describes the accents of the people of the Capitol as comprising of “Odd vowels, clipped words, and always a hiss on the letter s…no wonder it’s impossible not to mimic them”. Not only is her catchphrase archaic, but it is also untrue. For the tributes, the odds are 23:1. Its even worse when you consider that the tributes from district 1 and 2 have been training for the games for years, while the tributes from the outer districts are poorly fed and completely untrained.
