Perhaps you should try some spelling variations:
swash » smash, awash
swath » swat, spath
slash » flash, clash, slas
spat » span, spot, spam
spate » spane, spote, spame, spater, spaten, space
spite » spine
-plate » -plates, -place

You may be able to get more results by adjusting your search query.

• If you are trying to use Boolean operators, they must be ALL CAPS: (((swash OR swath) OR slash) OR ((spat OR (spate OR spite)) OR path))-plate.
• The words AND, OR and NOT may confuse the search; try adding quotes: "(((swash OR swath) or slash) or ((spat or (spate or spite)) or path))-plate".
• Adding a wildcard symbol may retrieve word variants: (((swash OR swath) or slash) or ((spat or (spate or spite)) or path))-plate*.
