  I think it’s just a way to say “a bunch of words”. In linguistics, a phrase is a grammatical unit that can consist of multiple words. Not all phrases are valid here, but there isn’t really enough room to put a complete list. But it would be the same one as for い-adjectives in their く-form or for adverbs.

  Among the example sentences, there is this one:
  カップルらしく 映画えいがを見みに行いこう

  I picked it because it’s fairly long compared to the other examples. The entire part after らしく is the “phrase”.

  Thanks, I wasn’t sure what it meant. I kinda thought it meant what you were saying but I wasn’t sure. I guess I just never thought something like “going to the movies” was considered a phrase I just thought it was a sentence. But I get what they mean by phrase now thanks

  90% sure that’s a Futurama reference, which, while hilarious, is a bad example without the full quote:

  “Yeah, well, I’m gonna go build my own theme park- with blackjack, and hookers! Actually, forget the park.”
