Words I Would Like an Excuse to Use

I think I wrote about one plane (actually just a little ultralight) crash when I was a reporter, but I can't remember if I got to use the word "fuselage." There's something cool about the word. Too bad there aren't more opportunities to use it. I'm not hoping for any crashes, but that seems to be the only time the word "fuselage" gets used. Hey, I just got to use it twice now.

Here's another good one: "scofflaw." How often can you use that? I saw it in a news story yesterday and my eyes widened at the sight of it. I quietly wished I had written the story. Is that considered word usage envy?
