      Another interesting thing are words, usually adjectives, that you only ever hear used with one particular noun.

      It actually can a little funny to hear them used with another.

      Examples, copious notes. Unbridled capitalism. (Or unfettered)

        Defenestrate seems to be more in the news in Russia than anywhere else.

              I use both of these but with other word pairings. Copious quantities of… and Unbridled optimism or Unbridled joy. Though I’m not sure I use unbridled in any other way.

                      I don’t know if it’s the people I’m around, but I feel like people are saying “oh my god” a lot less, and “oh my gosh” a lot more. (Myself included)
