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.
