Is there a word you're anxious to slip into a casual conversation

but the opportunity to do so hasn't yet materialized? Words like zugzwang or quincunx?

I once read a novel called The Quincunx, so I've already used that one!
@DrWatson

I've been working on a crossword puzzle of my own for years. In each of the 4 corners, together with the middle square, the design of this rebus crossword allows for the placement of a decimal/dot/spot/point/period to approximate the quincunx face of a gaming die.

For example: the span that runs top to bottom through the middle square has as its clue "Cheetahs and servals, for example". The 15 squares would include a period which would mean "spot" so the answer would look like this:

african.tedcats (African spotted cats).
