Etymology

[edit]

From the broken phrase “All your base are belong to us,” a line of dialogue from the English-language version of the 1989 Japanese video game Zero Wing which became an early internet meme due to its unintentionally humorous nature.

Phrase

[edit]

all your X are belong to us (snowclone)

  1. (Internet slang, gaming, somewhat dated) All of your possessions are now ours (used to boast or threaten a victory, such as to intimidate a rival team)
  2. Used to cast a person or group as villainous and greedy

Usage notes

[edit]

The noun inserted for X is usually kept singular to mimic the meme.
