Does dystmesis (i.e. where "the compound is separated at an inappropriate or unlikely position") occur regularly in your language, dialect, variant, etc.? Do you use it?

e.g. from English:

a whole nother story
unbe-freakin-lievable

Hello,

I've never heard of anyone using it in Bulgarian, so no.
