The paper aims at serving two goals. Firstly, attention will be drawn to a class of collocations that, to our knowledge at least, has gone unnoticed so far. Secondly, it will be argued that brute force techniques as they are employed by certain automated collocation search strategies using a quantitative technique plus a mechanism to filter out unwanted combinations is a guaranteed way to miss this class of collocations.
