I'll think of some momentarily, but for now I have to take issue with momentarily and near miss. Momentarily has two meanings: briefly and soon. And near miss can actually work grammatically. In the sense of a miss that was near (close) as opposed to far (distant.) That one was popular in both air traffic control and vessel traffic. I chuckled along with the rest of them, but it nagged me and I finally figured out why.
