No, if you generate a one-time pad of random hashes, such that...

1 -> foo
2 -> bargain basement
3 -> mickey mouse
4 -> jet plane

...et cetera, then we maintain frequency counts and timing while
anonymizing specific codes, and you can't brute force it because there's no
hash function.  You can even throw away the one-time pad, because the
timing data makes it easy to map "mickey mouse" back to specific entries if
you have the original dataset.

I think Curtis' suggestion actually has the same properties.
