Let’s take “x has left the building”. I could say, Gary has left the building… you’d know I was referring to a common phrase where the word “Gary” could be replaced with “Steve” or “Logic”; AND you’d know that the original phrase was “Elvis as left the building”

There’s a base phrase with an interchangeable piece. The base phrase is instantly recognizable.

A brain/idea/paycheck/virgin/cheerleader/beer/blog post is a terrible thing to waste…

A snowclone by any other name, is still a snowclone.

The term comes from the phrase, “If Eskimos have 100 words for snow, surely we have (x number) of ways to do (y).”

C’mon, Greg… you can get your head around that? Can’t you?
