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

          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)

          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.

            or in the case of the Trump family and friends, unbridled greed!

                  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)
