Glued Words
New name
Some words seem stuck to each other. Observe: * Plying --> trade ("plying" has 15M Google hits, "plying trade" has 3.8K) * Copious --> free time ("copious" has 28M Google hits, "copious free time" has 16K) The pattern here is semi-rare words that are (I propose) oddly connected to a specific second word/phrase. They are a form of [cliché|http://www.westegg.com/cliche/], and the predictability of the second half irritates me in a way. I plan on redoing this mechanically (Markov Chaining) after I build a manual list.
