"once single"

In the decade that I’ve had it it has literally never once single time let me down.

Other alternatives are that you don’t have to do your workout all at once single time, but you can spread it out throughout the day.

I haven’t heard it once single time since replacing the tensioner.
discussion of Toyota mechanics

This is one of those phrases wherein a sound migrates from the beginning of one word to the end of the previous word. It feels vaguely eggcornish, but, as “once” is basically a form of “one”, it’s not terribly amusing.
