Snowcloning is indeed a very useful word. I'm glad to see the wiki page correctly identifies the Language Log source. That's a regular blog on my reading list so it was cool to be there at the creation of a word and actually see it spread into common use (at least within certain circles).

If you're interested in things linguisticky I recommend that blog (though it does veer into way over my head jargon sometimes.



Man, somewhere recently I read a very interesting article from a dictionary editor on how words are selected for inclusion. But now I can't find it.
