A snowclone is a linguistic trope and a type of formulaic joke where certain words in a famous phrase are replaced with new ones to create a specific meaning. The term was coined in 2004 by linguists Glen Whitman and Geoffrey Pullum, inspired by the debunked claim that Eskimos have dozens of words for snow. Iconic examples include 'Got Milk?' becoming 'Got [X]?' or the Simpsons-inspired 'I for one welcome our new [X] overlords.' These templates serve as the backbone of internet culture, allowing users to adapt familiar structures to current events, niche hobbies, or absurd humor while maintaining a recognizable rhythm.
