Welcome To The Museum Of Rare Phrases
What is a rare phrase? It is a phrase you won’t find anywhere else on the internet using Google as of the date it was added to this page. Some are a bit unlikely, but many are so self-evident, that it’s surprising to find no results for them. We’re going to make an understated television commercial about them. Enjoy!
“SPAM sucks but I like it” - OK, I admit to completely making that one up. There were no Google AdWords next to this one either. Maybe Hormel Foods, makers of SPAM, don’t advertise next to phrases that juxtapose “SPAM” with “sucks”. Or maybe it was because of this article in IT World Canada. Which is funny in a way, because the official SPAM website links directly to the Monty Python SPAMALOT website! It’s a messed up world out there, kids! Be careful, and don’t forget to eat your SPAM! (People aren’t saying that online. Funny, that! 
“Will attend meetings for coffee and donuts” - Now you’d think a business site would have picked up on this one by now. Pretty obvious bit of office humor when you think about it!
“Suzy sold seashells by the seashore” - famous kiddie alliteration (really! - quite famous, it’s just that no one else is writing about it! Guess what? Many of the linked sentences on this site are, in fact, rare phrases!)
“I need to reel in some cash” - said by the Touch Tone Terrorists character Blade Jones
“Terrified housewife eats her own foot” - headline on “The Midnight Star” as seen in the Weird Al Yankovic video for “Midnight Star.” Not only did this one have no results, it also had no Google AdWords ads on the right hand side of the page! What, no foot fetish sites out there want in on that? What’s really ironic is that the rare phrase “no Google AdWords ads on the right hand side of the page” *has* Google AdWords on the right hand side of the page!
“The closer I am to frying” - misheard lyric from the Clam Chowder cover of the Indigo Girls song “Closer To Fine”
And here you thought it had all been said by now. Maybe it has, but it wasn’t showing up on Google when we checked! *Our name is a rare phrase too! How cool is that?
