Words/phrases you never hear spoken

Bigbagofcans · 2019-06-19 10:51:36

Which words/phrases do you only ever see written down or in places like Boards? Ethereal - I've never heard anyone utter this word in real life yet I often see it in print. 'Blast them with p**s' - I am convinced that this is a Boards-only phrase.
