reduplication

A linguistic term for repeating a word twice. Generally emphasizes the duplicated word, but American slang uses it to indicate that the word is being used in its truest or most specialized sense.

"Your cousin kissed you? You mean, like a _kiss_ kiss?"

"Was it a _date_ date or just a date?"

redundantly redundant

The repetition of something that has already been unnecessarily repeated.

See "redundantly redundant".

Earlier today basketball star Kevin Garnett was escorted out of the local tanning salon. The salon's owner said that "allowing Kevin to use a tanning bed again would be redundantly redundant." Phoned for comment, Nicole Kidman simply said, "What kind of bed?"

Reductio al Gore

Reductio al Gore is the argument tactic of dismissing all the science and evidence in support of man's contribution to climate change by invoking the name of Al Gore. It is a type of logical fallacy.

"I don't care that 97% of climate scientists support climate change because Al Gore makes money and I don't like Al Gore. Therefore, climate change is a hoax."

"Is that the best you can do? You don't have evidence, just a Reductio al Gore."
