This is the only one of yours that doesn’t sound forced and out of place to me.
Ricky Gervais?
The first telegraph message ever sent was “What hath God wrought?”
You don’t read enough.
And, Snuffy Smif’s “Bodacious punkin haid”!
Ah, yes. From Dorothy L. Sayer’s “Man With the Copper Fingers”.
“His father’s sword he has girded on,”
from “The Minstrel Boy” by Thomas Moore
My mother was quite fond of saying, “Life is fraught with difficulties.”
Riddled with questions.
If I may broach a question?
“That’s why they put them fancy umber-ellas in yer drink. That way, when it rains, it don’t die-loot the liquor!!” 
:rolleyes:
When she was a kid, my sister used to think that “soaking” meant “very”, because after all, “soaking wet” means “very wet”. So she used to say that she was “soaking happy”.
And now I have a filk earworm.
"Oh, let me tell you all the story of the good ship Bodacious and it’s wonderful journey into space. . . . "
I need to find that tape. (Sung to the tune of The M.T.A.)
Probably.
I’ve never heard ‘pained’ followed by anything other than ‘expression’ (well, except ‘look’ which is just a synonym for ‘expression’).
A pained grunt? A pained grimace? (That last is an expression, I know.)
Moot?
A: But I have my ticket!
B: I’m afraid that’s moot, my friend. The boat already left.
Oh, the foibles of youth!
If I say “happily,” I’ll bet the first thing you think of is “married.”
(Okay, not a noun, but it’s all I got.)
I know you mean any word associated with time, but I still can’t resist:

The skies they were ashen and sober;
The leaves they were crispéd and sere—
The leaves they were withering and sere;
It was night in the lonesome October
Of my most immemorial year;

Which, according to Northern Piper, was invented by Marconi.
I think “ensconced”. But I’m divorced & pretentious, so it probably doesn’t count.

I can’t recall anything pied is used with in modern language, other than the piper. It might really be more of a proper name than a adjective-noun combo though.

It’s falling out of use thanks to fully electronic typesetting and platemaking, but type can be pied or mixed up such as this example with the “is” set in a different face and the “p” is the one lone italic character. Back in the time of lead type, it was a sorting error when returning type to the case, but now, it pops up occasionally as a font substitution issue.

Is anything other than a swoop ever described as fell?

Seams. If you don’t recognize them from the cross-section pic, take a look at your jeans.
My contribution to the list is “gubernatorial” which never seems to be used except to describe elections to select state governors.
Google autofill is really effective at for these. In time sequence:
candidate
campaign
election
appointment
pardon
There are at least 48 species of bird with “Pied” in their name.
