Top 7 Ideas to Coin a Phrase

Nick Peters

Coining a Phrase is notoriously difficult. Before the web, you had to write a best-selling novel (or be President). At the beginning of the Web, you had to be a thought-leader with a popular blog (or a rapper).

Soon enough, all you’ll need is CoinThatPhrase.com. The first place on the web that will time-stamp the coining of a phrase and give the originator proper credit.

Ask not what tired phrases to say, but what new phrases you may coin. In this Web 2.0 world of bling-bling, it’s time you staked your claim.

Trouble thinking about what to coin? Allow me to help:

1. Your cross-town sports rivals suck. Come up with a new turn of phrase to mock them.
2. We all die, but only some of us have a unique quote we want on our headstones.
3. Your business wants to become a “verb”
4. Hallmark holidays (Mom Day, Dad Day, V-Day, etc) are notoriously canned. Show how special they are with a fresh saying.
5. Technology moves faster than our ability to describe it. Help us out.
6. Trouble rallying the troops at your office/condo/narco-state? Time to coin a rallying cry.
7. Like to emblazon slogans on T-shirts for the sake of Bar Crawls/Greek life/Reunions? How about making a unique slogan instead of stealing one from MasterCard.
