Life's work. Lifetime achievement. Worthy of mention on a tombstone. A source of pride and contentment in one's final hour. Rhymes with "boom's tonic".
"It's a good job, but I can't make a difference in the world that anyone will care about. Nothing I'll do there will ever be tombstonic."

Innuendo that becomes so (or moreso) by virtue of denial.
Wording that could have a sexual interpretation, especially the extra attention drawn to the alternate meaning by claiming it was inadvertent.

Him: I have a burrito for you.
Her: Thanks I love burritos.
Him: I'll keep it warm until you get here.
Her: I'll be there soon. I'm salivating already.
Him: I didn't mean any innuendo.
Her: Of course you didn't.
Him: I'm innocent as your nonnuendo.

True by definition, literally "saying the same". Pointlessly obvious. Additional words that add no meaning.
"Either we'll get in trouble, or we won't" is a logical tautology. By including all possibilities the statement must inherently be true.
In "PIN number" the word "number" is a tautology because a PIN is always a number. (At least that's what the N originally stood for — if the term PIN evolved to include letters someday then PIN number would no longer be a tautology.)
In "morning sunrise" the tautology is "morning" because sunrises are a subset of mornings; removing the first word removes no meaning. (The addition of "morning" may be aesthetically more pleasing, in a poem for example, but it remains a logical tautology.)
