Social Question
Can you think of a simple sentence that has most likely never been spoken or written before?
According to Wikipedia, a non-sequitur is a conversational literary device, often used for comedic purposes. It is something said that, because of its apparent lack of meaning relative to what preceded it, seems absurd to the point of being humorous or confusing.
What about, then, all the random sentences that have never been spoken before?
As big as language may be, as many words and possibilities of arranging them, as many situations one may speak, all are finite numbers. There are NOT an unlimited number of potential sentences or phrases, but the number is very high.
I suspect that the number of POTENTIAL sentences, spoken or written, is infathomably high, and we’ve only spoken or written an extremely small fraction of them.
Yet, every day, sentences are written and spoken that never have been before.
So, in English, what are some sentences YOU can think of (the simpler the better) that it is extremely unlikely anyone has ever said before?
e.g.
There is a rubber ball behind the door that has peaches and candy canes painted on it.
Spiders do not eat mayonnaise
San Diego is the new U.S. Capitol
London was never the capitol of the Netherlands.
Its really weird to have that many plants in your bathroom
Five pots and two pans are stacked behind the door.
What are some intelligible, understandable sentences you can come up with, that may or may not make sense, that have likely never been spoken?
