Sorry about that. There shouldn't be an "s" in sounds either. The sentence should read: "But neither of those phrases sound like Jeff's nor mine." ("Nor" is used as opposed to "or" because the sentence has a negative tone. Just a geeky grammar rule there.)
Personally, I think the sentence should read: "But neither of those phrases sounds like Jeff's nor mine." If we were to be really anal and grammar-friendly, we'd not start the sentence with "but"-- that's a faux pas.
