Does anyone use “kerfuffle?” Mr. AM once wrote that on my sheet music at a particularly perilous passage.

I see (and hear) kerfuffle often in the media.

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.
