Slick Willy's definitions

tautology

A logical statement in which the conclusion is equivalent to the premise
Example of a tautology: Bad people take drugs; therefore, people who take drugs are bad.
The other definition appearing here, "Unnecessary repetition of a word", is a crudification and wrong - such pointless reiterative repetition is a redundancy, and one who makes such a definition is called a "redundunce". Consult Fowler.

Achtung

The sound of hocking, and then aiming the hock to perfectly hit the rim of the spitoon to make the "-tung!!" sound. It made everyone pay attention, hence its other, more common definition. Alleged to be the first word in the German language, on which all other words are based.

also-ran

neither a loser nor a winner, inescapably more pathetic, less evocative of empathy, less romantic than winner or loser.
