Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Some time ago I created a thread where we could post especially felicitous turns of phrase that we have written or encountered in our reading. This is different from the "gems" thread, where it's more appropriate to post whole sentences or paragraphs and usually our own writing. I want to post a little something to it and can't remember the name. I've looked through my posts in as many ways as I could think of, hoping to stumble on it. Ideas anyone?

Perfect words and phrases. Have you got some?

This one?

Even though this thread seems to have been found, it might help to know that in your profile (forum profile, not story-side) you can search for threads that you created.

(Never mind, I just saw your post in Tech Support where you explain that you already did that.)

Not quite, but thanks for reminding me about it. These are things you'd re-use in your writing. The thread I'm thinking about would contain unique phrases or sentences.

How do I get to that, if it's different than the Find drop down, which doesn't allow for searching, as far as I can see. Although, as I mentioned, I can't search because I can't think of a word. And keep thinking, because we haven't found it yet.

No, I meant the same thing.

Was it your "something-something from an author's notebook" thread?

Do you use unusual words? Do you like to read unusual words?

Stuff from an author's notebook.
