| Feb 2, 2018 at 1:27 | comment | added | Alan McBee | 'slang' is probably appropriate. I get why you would think of it as a snow-clone. Maybe "idiomatic phrasing" rather than straight-up idiom. I'm not entirely sure why proper classification and taxonomicalization (not a real word) of every little expression is vital to the survival of these questions and answers, but I'll go along with it. I know, I know: "Take it to the meta- site, Alan. It doesn't belong here." Right, right. | |
| Feb 2, 2018 at 0:38 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | I've added the 'slang' tag, as the answer is flagged as such by Wiktionary. And 'snow-clone' seems more appropriate than 'idiom'. Though idiomaticity and degree of productivity don't seem to agree with those suggested in the question. | |

| Feb 1, 2018 at 23:54 | comment | added | MetaEd | Avoid posting questions that do not provide transparent, objective criteria for useful answers. We need this when answering and voting. This applies to mind-reading games, such as “what is the word I have forgotten”, which hide usefulness criteria in the mind of the asker. See: “Let’s Play The Guessing Game – Stack Overflow Blog”, and “Real Questions Have Answers – SE Blog”. | |
