Provided you allow for translation, equivalence and such,
there are few phrases that have only ever been said once. Most people assume
that such phrases involve putting disjointed items into one sentence, like “Put
the carrot in the devil” (said twenty five times) or “My hovercraft is full of
jelly snakes” (four times).
In fact, there have been just three totally unique phrases
in history, so far.
One of them is so obscene that it wiped out the Roibak tribe
(eventually).
The second involved a uniquely named person and a uniquely
named horse.
And the other one started history itself.
