When is a snowman NOT a snowman?

The Ministry of Morale is urging its citizens to refrain from referring to snow sculptures (which are predominantly made by kids/parents) as ‘snowmen’ and instead refer to them as: ‘snow entities’.
This is because there is a very small group of people with a very loud voice, who seem to get offended by the term ‘snowman’ despite the fact that, traditionally, snowmen tend to pop up whenever it snows.
Despite the fact that budding snow sculptures are free to create a ‘snow entity’ with any gender of their choosing, traditionally, these creations tend to be of the male variety.
The Ministry of Morales’ common sense department has also seen some references being made (when talking about gender neutral snow entities) to ‘snow pals’ or ‘snow buddies’ rather than just calling these temporary sculptures ‘snowmen’.
Our Chief Morale Officer said:
“Whilst it is hard to conceive of ‘snow entities’ being made when there is no sign of any snow at the moment, we would nonetheless ask citizens to refer to these creations as ‘snow entities’ rather than ‘snowmen’.
“This request is being made owing to the fact that a very small group of people seem to have become offended by the reference to ‘snowmen’ despite the fact that 99.99% could not give two hoots about ‘snow entities’ being referred to as ‘snow men’.
“However, because these snowflakes have extremely loud voices, we are assessing that the overall morale of the nation could be adversely affected by all of the negative press surrounding this ridiculous subject.
“So, hopefully, by referring to ‘snowmen’ as ‘snow entities’ then morale will be maintained, albeit at the cost of common sense”.
“If, like us, then this situation is giving you a headache, then we would maybe like to suggest building ‘snow cones’ instead of building snow entities”.
