Context Main / AdverblyAdjectiveNoun

Go To

1A form of {{snowclone}} titles here on the wiki, that consist of a noun, an adjective before it, and an adverb before the adjective. It's not clear why this form is so popular. Probably it just sounds catchy, but it could also be because unlike most snowclones, this one does a good job of describing the trope; in fact several Administrivia/RenamedTropes were changed to this format. An adverb is needed to describe the nature of the adjective, and of course the adjective is there to describe the noun, otherwise it would not be a trope. Just imagine how much less clear these would be without their adverbs.
