I saw "petunias" in a post earlier today ... and feeling a need for light relief from some heavy pressure stuff that's been going on ... did a little light scripting.  Turns out that petunias have come up in three previous threads on the forum.

Here are some words that have only been used once.
lingonberry
frogman
flyGWR
Thatcherism
bantams
Puccini
jimjams

There are hundreds ... thousands ... of unique "words" on the forum - though most are either single spelling errors, or muliple words run together.  Mind - with the number of times I post, that's not unexpected ... brreakfast sprinkimg brigdes twotunnelsfestival waliking badgeline puuuuuurfect helicapters northener shirtmodel requets traffiti bakeloo swandea bitterwallet chippenhammrs ....

Just picking up some of those grahame-words:
helicapters ? should of course be heliCAPters
shirtmodel ? those lucky GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) staff who were chose to show the green shirts on the catwalk
bitterwallet ? how you feel after buying a walk-up anytime from Penzance to London
chippenhammrs ? who are they playing this weekend? Come on you Chippenhammrs!

The Bakeloo line is the one with kilns on board all the tube trains for firing sanitary ware while you travel.

For some reason I was reminded of that round in ?I?m sorry, I haven?t a clue? where they have to smuggle a word into a sentence. The trouble is it?s usually ?Spudulike? or something like it.

Presumably it meets up with the Jubbly, Peccadillo, Distinct and Circus lines, not to mention the North Hen.
