redundancy

1. A reference to a woman hot is both hot (attractive) and Asian.

2. Slang used on an east coast audio podcast show, The Jone Dome, to refer to an Asian woman who is attractive.

Derived on the basis that Asian women are generally attractive, so a hot Asian is a redundancy.

See also, half-a-redundancy which refers to a woman that is either hot or Asian, not both.
Ex.1: Lucy Liu is a total redundancy.

Ex.2: Let's go down to Chinatown and scope out some redundancies.

Ex3. Yeah, she's hot, but half-a-redundancy

Review Redundancy

When a person creates a word on Urbandictionary.com, and it's submitted for review by the moderators. Then you must check your email to confirm its submission, and you wonder why this process even exists when the site allows people to upload words like "Iced Dildo," which is a frozen piece of shit that one would use for vaginal insertion to heighten pleasurable experiences during anal sex.

Also see "Portugese Breakfast," and "Vacuum Cleaner," and "Cincinatti Vegetable Soup." Why these definitions were conceived, God only knows...
Review Redundancy is sure to follow any submission to urbandictionary.com. In fact, it's about to happen right now.
