The following passphrases were repeated (two occurances each, the only entry that occured more than twice was the blank one):

Bagel bites

EFFulgent shackles

Kissing bobbies

mimsy borogoves

SQUEAMISH OSSIFRAGE

If we go case-insensitive, there was also 'No thanks' and 'no thanks'; and 'TWO WORD' and 'Two Word'.

(The first three of those came next to each other, so they were probably just multiple entries.)

It is a datapoint that only one person apparently took up the offer of SQUEAMISH OSSIFRAGE

Possibly two; there's no guarantee the person who originally suggested it actually used it.

I, on the other hand, am one of those two. The humor appealed to me.

I agree. This was clearly the object of furious guessing and second-guessing. :V

Yes, and this was why I did not include them.
