Oh god. I thought we were just going for the next word (chain of unicode letter characters, I know that's not actually correct all the time either). If you want to identify noun phrases... yeah don't use a regex. But also just don't get into a situation where you need to do that in the first place.
The person who got me into programming basically told me "don't get yourself into situations where you need regex, just find something else to do." While not really possible in a lot of cases, it does stand as good, practical advice.
