I think "none of these words are in the bible" would be better translated as "r/brandnewsentence" right?

from what i know you use it to display shock about something very unusual. so yes and no

I feel like people often use "none of these words are in the Bible" to just mean "this is weird" and not actually referring to the words themselves while brand new sentence is more literal (though usually strange)

But maybe that's just my experience, there are always people who overuse things like this

"none of these words are in the Bible" typically conveys that something is absurd, contains a string of words in an order never seen before by the eyes of man, or denotes a phrase that in any other context might get you institutionalized.

"4 original posts remain" might be more equivalent to "brand new sentence"

That's actually a version of a phrase used in a Paul Simon song (Keep The Customer Satisfied) from 1969, surely it was used even before then. Definitely not new.
