In a effort to pass by this afternoon a bit quicker I have been mulling phrases (with the help of google) that have never, ever been used. Not too difficult a task, perhaps, if you just throw together a few random words like "Jigsaw Jam Sandwich" and bam, no hits.

What the challenge is, I suspect, to craft a sensible normal seemingly ordinary statement that has never, in all likelyhood, has never ever been said. But balls to that.

This is basically an excuse to spout random sentences of utter nonsense.

So far I have

Hedgehog Trench Warfare
Custard based torture
Llama of peril
Cork the suns backside

Other phrases welcome, I'm just killing time...

Hmmm sadly i think if this poor monkfish did suffer from being rabid it would most likely take its own life, as any rabies sufferer comes a fear of water...which would be very bad for any waterbased creature.

but here is another

"epic jacket fiasco" yes there has never been one....god knows why?

Epic jacket fiasco, I like that; mind you that could happen at the end of a top hat and tails evening when the coatstand falls over... which is your jacket? Oh yes. The black one....

"chrome aardvark flutes" or "brass aardvark flutes" are totally normal phrases (as an 'aardvark flute' is a real instument) but do not appear from Google.

"undamped dashpot", and "oil-less dashpot" are both perfectly fine (and mean pretty much the same thing), but un-used phrases too.

Perhaps the challenge is to find ordinary sensible word pairs that don't exist....

My point exactly! It's too easy to just put a line of gibberish together; "badger dance universal", as it's very unlikely it would ever be used anyway.
And even plausible, but daft ones: "scrotum tickler convention", aren't really as satisfying to me as again they're not realistic.
But real meaningful ones: "dismounting drive frenzy" make me smile that luckily no-one has yet had to use them in context :-D
