Some of the near zero but not zero combinations don't make a lot of sense to not just be zero.

Like dumbbag, scumhat, dipclown... I don't know about you, but those ones colored as "thousands of uses" doesn't seem right to me. Unless it was open so far as to search for those words used back to back and not specifically attached in any way as implied.

But yeah, there are so many combinations that seem way too far into the orange to make sense to me. I'm curious to see the actual numbers the graph was built with.

The internet is vast and if this is to be believed, sourced over more than a decade. Not that unbelievable, imho.

I'm definitely gonna write some of these down and try to work them in. But some of them have earned their 0 uses so far.
