This Online Group Celebrates Sentences That Probably No One Has Ever Thought Of Before, Here Are 50 Of The Best (New Pics)
The beauty of reading is that you never know what strange word constructions your eyes might come across—it’s an exercise in expanding our imaginations. Meanwhile, the beauty of writing lies in the fact that sometimes, when you’re caught up in the flow of things, you never truly know what you’ll end up saying until you put pen to paper (or, rather, pixelated ink to word processing documents).
Any writer worth their salt knows the joy of writing something powerful, unique, and mesmerizing. However, people create new and interesting sentences all the time, whether they’re amateur writers, seasoned professionals, or hate writing altogether.
Sometimes, these new sentences appear entirely by accident. Sometimes, after someone slips the Muses a $5 bill. Don’t believe us? Well then, you’re in for a treat. Today, we’re featuring the r/BrandNewSentence subreddit, a community of nearly 1 million members, entirely dedicated to the sentence “never before written, found in the wild.” It’s a writer’s, reader’s, and language-lover’s dream subreddit.
Bored Panda reached out to Doug Murano to learn about how to write impactful sentences that jump off the page, and what mistakes new writers should avoid making. (Spoiler warning: the idea that less is more definitely still applies.) Doug is a writer, Bram Stoker Award-winning editor, and the founder of Bad Hand Books.
"A teacher of mine once told me words aren't the basic units of meaning—sentences are. So this is an important consideration," he told us. According to Doug, a lot of what makes sentences shine comes down to context and rhythm, not the "particular ingredients" of a sentence. "If you're a writer, that means vary up your sentence lengths and listen to the momentum you're creating. You can lull your reader into a groove with sentences that stretch on, describe setting, investigate a character's state of mind or follow action. Then add a punch at the end with a shorter sentence. It works."
When you’re done upvoting the most unusual and fresh sentences in this list, Bored Panda invites you to read through our first article about r/BrandNewStence. You can find it right over here. And if you can remember the most bizarre sentence you’ve ever written, dear Pandas, we’d love it if you shared it in the comment section.

Cover Your Shoulders With Knives
Just to clarify: even though we can, I've never seen nor heard of anyone carrying a knife to school, other than one you would use to cut your food with.
Load More Replies...they apparently "distract the boys" but you know, knives are perfectly fine for some reason
Load More Replies...My work is like that. The shortest sleeve we can wear is a cap sleeve or a stop over top. But it doesn't state if it has to be an opaque overshirt. So malicious compliance commence.
a 3.5" knife is actually quite deadly. It's probably because stabbing someone in the heart is not easy with a 3" blade, but it sure is enough to kill somebody with a bit of artful slicing around the neck area. Naked shoulders instead give everyone huge hard-ons and some of the older dirty bastards will die of high blood pressure. Put enough of them in the same room and the shoulders can be classified as WMDs.
Writer and editor Doug told Bored Panda that in order to get a reader's attention, a sentence doesn't necessarily have to be bizarre or unusual. However, it all depends on the context.
"Opening lines for stories or essays often benefit from a little twist because they're meant to draw a reader into the world you're creating. Then again, one of the most famous sentences in the English language is 'Jesus wept,' which is short, straightforward, and not bizarre, unusual, or even that descriptive. I'll bang this drum again: if context isn't everything, it's most of it."
Supportive Grandma
Friends know where you've buried the bodies. TRUE friends helped you bury them.
Someone who really loves you will help you hide the body, no questions asked
When I was beaten badly by a boyfriend once and told my Dad about it, my gentle 67yo father who had never hurt a soul asked if I wanted him to go break the dude's arm. I am sure he was 100% not kidding. It was honestly touching. He was the only one of my family and friends who seemed to care about it. (except my old friend with antisocial personality disorder who was the only one concerned and talked me into going to the hospital - concussion, broken finger, and badly damaged back that required painkillers for 6 weeks).
While I would take her up on it, I would love to hear her life story. Must have some intersections phases.

Now to go back to that cafe in Tiburon, California for stuffed prawns Mediterranean with Swiss chard and rice pilaf!!!
Save the best bit for last. My brother owes me a walnut that I was saving from my slice of cake. Not forgiven him yet.
Doug told Bored Panda that many new writers cannot grasp the idea that they should be writing less and omitting some details. "New writers often believe more is more and, as a result, they'll start doing something I call 'tap-dancing in front of a burning building.' Essentially, this means you're drawing more attention to yourself as a writer than the picture you're trying to create because you lack restraint. Let the reader fill in some of the gaps in their own minds and resist the urge to toss descriptive and figurative language in every sentence."
Founded back in the summer of 2018, r/BrandNewSentence celebrates the idea that never before seen sentences can pop up at any time, in any place. Whatever you might think of social media, you can’t deny that it’s a goldmine of awesome content if you know where to look. And the members of r/BrandNewSentence definitely know where to look.
Naturally, the subreddit is all about uniqueness, so reposts aren’t allowed. According to the mods, in order for a sentence to qualify for being posted on the sub, it has to “never been said before,” cannot be an idiom, and has to be “humorous or confusingly worded.”

A Two Pound Meat Potato
OMG! True on every account. I can "hear" my childhood pet guinea pig; is name was Weepa as in the noise he screeched day and night.
Today they want the inside of the cucumber, tomorrow they want the outside of the cucumber. They like tomatoes one day and not the next. One day they want their carrots grated and the next day they want it sliced.
My mum and I found a pair of abandoned guinea pigs in a park when I was a child. They were huddled back-to-back, and screamed bloody murder but didn't run when a dog at the park approached. We were impressed, though in retrospect we mistook desperation for bravery. The dog was called off & then my mum was able to scoop them into her market bag. They were with us for a couple weeks before we found a home for them, and they spent it quietly eating & sleeping & pooping.
That's a nice story. Poor meat potatoes, they wouldn't be able to survive outside if you hadn't saved them. Thank you!
Load More Replies...And the "popcorning" they do is so cute! Once my Guinea pig, Spotty, bit my best friend right in the nose. Was a funny place to put band aid on... 🤣🤣🤣
Guinea Pigs and Chihuahua's share one important job: portable food. I thought that was a joke until I found out it's a fact. Chihuahua's were not bred for cuteness, they were bred as a snack. A super irritating snack. Guinea Pigs just happened to already be portable snacks.
That does explain the chihuahua's temperament, though. I'd be a little testy too if I knew I was just someone's yumyum.

I was on my way to the pub and I found a street sign that had fallen off its post and thought it would look cool in my window at home, so I stuffed it in my bag with at least half of it poking out and spent the next couple of hours at the pub drinking with this thing sitting next to me on the bench. Just as I was leaving some guy sneaked up behind me and snapped a picture of the girl carrying a huge street sign around in her tiny backpack, and I just KNOW it ended up on Facebook. (I've still got the sign).
We hosted a 70s party and, by agreement with the local second hand store borrowed a whole bunch of furniture and accessories to convert the house to totally 70s decor. We turned up with a horse float and a trailer to transport everything. 18 months later a new colleague at my husband's work was telling him a story he heard through someone's cousins, sister's friend about some weirdos who turned up at a second hand store with a with a horse float and refurnished their whole house in 70s decor for a single night. lol.

I graduated from high school in the early 90's. About 10 years ago I was browsing a message board from my school and people were talking about the infamous Spanish teacher from that time, who was well known for doing weird/crazy things. Then someone says "hey remember the time he threw that poor Freshman's books out the window?". Well, I was that Freshman. :) I seriously can't believe anyone remembered it! The teacher caught me doing math homework during his class and proceeded to take my textbook and notebook and toss them out the 2nd floor window. The whole class just sat there with our jaws on the floor but he continued teaching like nothing had happened. LOL! He did a lot of weird things but AFAIK I'm the only kid he ever did that to. (I should note that I was a good student and he did like me, but he didn't tolerate goofing around in class)
things at the cashiers head, including (very heavy) tins of custard that are stacked up by the exit. Then he says he's leaving but he's coming back and we’ll all be sorry. I stayed and helped them calm down and called the police, waited till they came etc. We didn't actually know each other at the time, and, face masks, so next time I saw them it took a minute for them to place me.... Then I got, “hey! you’re the custard assault police bringing friend girl!” or something along those lines. It didn’t make much sense but it did make me proud to have such a title :)
This happened to me.... I was in a small grocery shop around closing time, about to pay, chatting to the 2 members of staff. A random guy customer looking really shifty with his hands inside a massive coat tried to get past us to get out the shop. The cashier politely asked, "did you not need anything in the end?" . This sends shifty guy into a fit claiming they're telling him he's stealing, they say it's just what they say to everyone, he kicks off. First with the verbal abuse, then starts using racial slurs about the cashier, starts threatening to punch us all, strutting around, starts throwing (heavy)
Started a job events waiting (serving, in US). New colleague told me how much fun it was catering the university end of year sports prom because you got to see people being morons, 'Like last year, I saw this couple snogging on a folding chair.

The subreddit’s moderators suggest that people check the uniqueness of a sentence by searching for it on Google (don’t forget the double quotation marks to look for exact quotes) before posting anything.
“If the results produced are many and have various apparition dates, it is most likely that the sentence is brand new. If there are many results, but all on the same day, the sentence is likely new (and therefore qualifies for this sub) but has become popular (which is OK),” they explain.

Most cats will stay clear of feral rats if they are not feeling especially adventurous (or really hungry) that day. They are not exactly an easy prey to tackle. I saw an amusing YouTube video some time a go where a young cat tried to check out a rat in the streets. The rat clearly disapproved and chased the poor kitty around the block...

Previously, Bored Panda spoke to Dr. Lisa McLendon, from the University of Kansas, about keeping our English skills sharp and our grammar game up to par. According to her, there are some pitfalls that non-native speakers tend to fall into when learning English.
“For students whose native language lacks articles (a, an, the), articles are by far the hardest category of words to master. Verb tense/aspect is also really hard—the difference between ‘I read,’ ‘I am reading,’ and ‘I do read’ is nonexistent in many other languages,” Lisa told us. However, native speakers deal with their own linguistic challenges.
Beer Angel
When your smashing tiny projectiles around at high speed is a great time to have a beer.

If you would like to summon me you can either use my actual name, or ask for the Beer Cart Attendant, the Beer Angel, or 'Vanessa, Goddess of Hops and Barley'. Any disrespect will invoke the Hops Goddess's wrath, and may result in your beer being thrown at your head."
You, i like you. Your gumption and take no shi* attitude. I bet if someone calls you one of those crap names, you smile, pull out a beer, open it, then pour it on the ground right in front of him, and flick the empty can in his golf bag. You rock. Keep it up.

He even had a beer in his one hand and a joint in his other hand. He saw us, I thought oh boy here we go. Then he said: that belly is really beautiful on you. And for a moment this drunk hippie made feel really good about myself.

In her experience as an editor, as well as a teacher, Lisa noticed that native speakers have a lot of trouble with past passive participles in speech (for example. saying ‘I had went’). When it comes to writing, they find punctuation, homophones (for instance, peek vs. peak), and misplaced modifiers challenging.
“Read! Read widely and frequently. Read magazines, newspapers, novels, even cereal boxes. But be careful when scrolling through social media, which although it can give you a good idea of current slang and shorthand, is often not a great model of clarity, accuracy, or good grammar,” the professor gave advice for anyone wanting to improve.

Load More Replies...True story: colleague invited us for Christmas BBQ, everything went okay. Only few days after I found out that another colleague saw that she had her cat in the freezer. Apparently it had just died a couple of days earlier and she wanted her boyfriend (who was away at that time) to meet the cat before burial.
They couldn't put it in a separate cooler or something??Jesus!😭
Load More Replies...I have just coughed coffee all over my phone and I'm really glad I've not long ago had a wee
In fairness, I do know someone who had to keep their beloved cat in a freezer after she died for a while because they couldn't afford to have her cremated and couldn't bury her where they were living. It was the best way to preserve the poor kitty until she could be properly cremated. Still, four years is kind of a long time.
According to her, if we rely too much on spell-check and autocorrect, we can end up turning off our critical thinking skills. In short, we can forget how to think and write.
“Because spell-check and autocorrect are everywhere, what seems to be the biggest problem is words that are spelled correctly but aren’t the right word, like ‘form’ instead of ‘from,’ ‘it’s’ instead of ‘its,’ or ‘defiantly’ instead of ‘definitely.’”

The professor also suggests having someone look over your work in order to find any mistakes that you might have left behind.
“When you’ve written something, your brain already knows what you’re thinking and what you meant to say, even if you didn’t actually say it. So when you read your own writing, you unconsciously fill in missing words, skip over typos, fail to see ambiguity, etc. Another person, someone who sees only what’s on the page and not what’s in your head, can help you spot mistakes and improve your writing. This is especially important if you are carving something in stone or getting a tattoo with words in it.”

All the students were super curious about who it was so we were all flashing our grades when we got them in class. Everyone got a C. Everyone was super confused. I've thought a lot about this, and I think it was me. I was so bad at essays that I took additional study sessions to improve, so when the teacher said “too well written” I think she just meant in comparison to my past work (which is really disappointing and not a great attitude for a teacher). The moral of the story is: if you're terrible at writing, don't improve too quickly or people will think you're stealing other people's work. You have to at least go into hiding for a year and then emerge like you made a deal at the Crossroads.
Now I have the song Crossroads in my head. Great reference.
Load More Replies...To this day I am still mad about a girl in my 7th grade reading class trying to bs her book report. She did hers on "Ella Enchanted", and this was right around the time the Anne Hathaway Ella Enchanted movie came out, and several weeks earlier in class we'd done some reading magazine exercise involving looking at scenes from the movie in a modified script format, including a spoilery scene from the ending. I ended up reading the book on my own, so I knew that among other things, the movie changed the ending, so the scene we'd read in class had been completely different in the book. Well come time for this girl's report, she's staying true to the book for about half of it, then gets towards the end, where we had the choice whether or not to spoil our book's ending, she starts telling the movie version and movie ending. I don't think the teacher ever figured out she cheated but to this day, 18 years later, I'm still mad I didn't rat her out. She was such a snob. And..
And she read most of the book, she couldn't finish it? It was not a long or difficult book. And she'd read enough of the book to know that they made some pretty big changes between the book and the movie, so it also didn't even occur to her to at least check to make sure the book and movie had the same ending? Like, the internet wasn't what it is today, but we did have Sparknotes in 2004. Just the laziness. And the stupidity. It's like lesson one of BSing a book report is that you don't write it on the movie because movies make too many changes and someone will notice.Ugh.

I never knew that fax machines were that old. Explains why some people still use it to this day.
How does something being old explain why it's still in use? Not that I've seen a fax machine in use in over a decade but it's more likely to be a lack of funds or other reasons for not updating technology rather than 'we've had it since 1843 so I'm still going to use it'.

I used to love walking up behind kids in HS and say "Black has mate in 4" and then walking away. I suck at chess. I've played thousands of games and only won one that I'm proud of, but I enjoy pretending like I'm not a fool.

It was 34°, which is very cold for California. The cantankerous old homeowner called me a “pinko, commie, queer-loving, libtard snowflake” all in one breath. He used every supposed insult he could muster. So, they’re also code for “kind” and “generous.”
You mean boomer? I didn't think it was "kind" to lable everyone with the same brush. Yes u were nice and he was a jerk. Had nothing to do with when he was born

Lower Case T's Started Hurting
It took me a bit — and I'm not sure I'm 💯 — to figure out something about a cross repelling vampires just as other religious bits such as holy water. Crosses were used to torture/kill, but it was Jesus' s persecution on the cross, and subsequent resurrection, that turned the cross into a religious symbol.
Load More Replies...In "I am legend", they talk about this: jewish vampires are scared of the Torah. But I'm wondering if atheist vampires are immune to this!
And just now, under my breath so as to not wake my husband I muttered Jesus. And I'm Jewish.
Here's something I've always wondered... If vampires were real and Jesus actually was the son of 'God', and a vampire bit Jesus and drank his blood, would that make Jesus a vampire (instead of a zombie that rose from the grave after 3 days) -or would the fact that the vampire drank the blood of Christ mean he/she was 'saved' and become human again? Or both?
One of the reasons there's a little curve at the bottom of most lower-case letter-t's is because there's a footnote called 'dagger' => † they're trying NOT to confuse it with.

"I Guess God Does Hair"
I saw an older woman walking out of a medical office building with a t-shirt emblazoned with the words “I don’t believe in science” I’m pretty sure she was not delivering packages.
At least the idiots identify themselves so it's easier to know who to stay away from.
PLEASE can we exile these idiots to the underside of the flat earth?
well, she should have been walking around naked... because... that's how god made her... Actually her parents f*****g is what made her and god washed his hands of us literally on his "day of rest" right after he declared we have free will and similar godlike abilities to create. so either way she's full of s**t.

"Releasing A Roomba Into The Greek Forums"
The ancient Greeks would not be spooked at all. Greek mythology is full of robots, AI, and GPS.
In the UK last week a roomba escaped. They eventually found it outside hiding under a hedge. Bit concerning.
Saw that. Someone said they hoped it was ok out there as nature abhors a vacuum 😂

In all seriousness, it a good idea to grab a hand mirror and examine as much of yourself as possible on a regular basis. It's how I found a pre-cancerous tumor on my perineum when I was 25. Looked kind of like a black zit, no pain, not much redness. I've done an all body check about once a month ever since.
