Many of us find it adorable when little kids ramble words that somehow form a complete sentence. Now, imagine adults doing the same, spontaneously coming up with sentences that are funny, oddly accurate, and unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. A mix of hilarious and fascinating, right?
That’s exactly what the subreddit “Brand New Sentence” is all about. With over 1.4 million members, it’s a goldmine of sentences that have (quite literally) never been written before, spotted “in the wild.” From witty remarks to intriguing word mashups, it’s a treasure trove of linguistic gems you didn’t know you needed. Keep scrolling, you just might stumble upon a sentence you’ll never forget.

There are over 8 billion people living on this planet, which feels like an unimaginably large number. You would think that with so many of us, we would run out of ways to be unique. But somehow, human creativity always finds new ground. From art and music to literature and language, fresh ideas keep appearing every day.
Language, especially, shows us endless possibilities. With so many words and combinations, no two people ever sound completely alike. And that’s what makes each expression so fascinating.

This idea is exactly what the subreddit r/BrandNewSentence celebrates. Launched in 2018, the community has grown to over 1.4 million members who love discovering sentences that sound like they’ve never been written before.
The rules are simple but clever: a sentence must either have “never been said before, or said so rarely that it counts as almost new.” It also can’t be a cliché, idiom, or just a translated phrase, it has to feel original. The results are often hilarious, unexpected, and oddly thought-provoking. In short, it’s a goldmine of originality.

And honestly, the sentences people post there never disappoint. Some make you laugh out loud, while others are so strange you’ll wonder how they ever came to exist. To explore how English allows for this creativity, we spoke with Rosmary Joseph, an English teacher who works with middle schoolers in Mumbai.
Teaching 7th and 8th graders, she often sees students experiment with words in surprising ways. “English is such a flexible language,” she told us. “I love how a single phrase can mean so many different things depending on how you use it.” That flexibility is what sparks originality.

Rosmary explained that to create unique sentences, it helps to understand the building blocks of language. “Every sentence has phrases at its core,” she said. “For example, a noun phrase centers around a noun. Meanwhile, a verb phrase is built around a verb.
These seem simple, but once you start combining them, the possibilities multiply.” By mixing and matching phrases in new ways, people accidentally stumble into sentences no one has ever heard before. That’s where the fun begins.

She went on to describe how adjective phrases and adverb phrases add extra flavor. Adjective phrases describe nouns, like “a teacher full of energy,” while adverb phrases describe how something is done, like “with surprising enthusiasm.”
According to Rosmary, these details often turn an ordinary sentence into something colorful. For example, “The dog barked” is plain, but “The dog barked with the rage of a thousand suns” suddenly feels unique.

Another type is the prepositional phrase, which shows relationships between words in a sentence. Think of sentences like “The keys on the table” or “The cat under the bed.”
These phrases may seem simple, but when placed in unusual contexts, they create funny or unexpected results. “People play with prepositions in creative ways,” Rosmary explained. “That’s why you’ll often find quirky sentences like ‘A pineapple on a skateboard in the rain’ random but oddly vivid.”

Then there are participle phrases, which begin with verbs ending in ing or ed but act like adjectives. For example: “Smiling brightly, the child waved” or “Broken by years of use, the chair collapsed.” Rosmary pointed out that these create strong imagery and often lead to unusual combinations.

“These are the main types of phrases,” Rosmary concluded, “and they really form the foundation of English sentences. Once you learn them, you realize how limitless the language is.”
