Not anymore. That would get moved towards the top of the rainbow table now.
Brute force also doesn't necessarily mean brute forcing each character. If the password consists of relatively few dictionary words like this, it could be brute forced in a matter of minutes (depending on computation power, hash function used etc. of course).
OTOH passphrases are so rarely used that other than a handful of common examples that would already be in a word list such as CorrectHorseBatteryStaple, it would be rather unlikely for anyone to bother even trying unless they are specifically trying to crack a specific password.
So maybe don't use a plain four word english passphrase as the admin login, but if your facebook password is ZuckerbergSucksFlaccidCock, 'tis probably fine.
Is that better or worse than an erect one, from an insult point of view?
