I usually make a mental note when I think of one of these:
Mitigating
Inclement
Foregone
Figment
Okay, I know they're used in other ways by the verbally gifted, but these words are odd to me in that they are not overly obscure, yet their use is almost completely confined to a single, common phrase.
Any others?
Pneumatic.
abecedarian
ecumenicalism
benign
ecumenicalism
benign
Exculpatory.

republican

I get the idea some of you don't actually know what's being asked, here.
He's looking for words that are used exclusively as part of a phrase.
I'm not sure what the phrase is that includes "sesquapedalian".

But yeah, I /whooshed. I'm dog-tired
So I'm assuming the following assumptions were in play:
Mitigating circumstances
Inclement weather
Foregone conclusion
Figment of imagination
In which case:
Inveterate liar
Transcendental meditation
Tantric sex
Funting kumquat

I've never seen or read that phrase before now.
Oh, and Nobby - you missed exculpatory evidence, though that's probably more commonly used over here.
