Nothing any more, I've been in the Internet for enough time to know that now matter how rare a idea is there are at least several hundred thousands that also have it.
Now the interesting thing is not knowing if anyone else also has the idea A or B, what I think would be interesting is how many of your ideas you would have to combine for the set to be unique (because even if there are 1 million people with the idea A and another million with the idea B maybe you're the only one thinking in A and B).
I am now very happy when I coin a clever term and find that absolutely no one ever did before according to Google.
Best one is blokeface. This is play on blackface and the fact that bloke is a slur in Quebec (in French) for an anglophone. Blokeface is portraying an anglophone in a stereotypical way for the purpose of humiliation. It's pretty rare but I had some users doing it in a subreddit I mod (actually, all the accounts may be the same guy).

Huh, I've never thought of that before!

Still, I came with this neologism first.
I used to call people facehead as a little kid. Thought I was such a badass for thinking of that "diss"
Amusingly, I used to use that when I was a kid as well. Not sure where I got it from.
