For years I’ve kept a running list of random phrases I’ve seen or heard in the wild—or inadvertently made myself—that sounded like they’d make a great name for a band, album, movie, or other work of art. I can’t remember where most of them came from, but that’s what makes them kinda fun.

Rather than let them languish in my Notes app, I figured I’d fling them out into the internet for anyone to claim and use. (I’ll probably keep adding to this as I encounter more.) Enjoy!
