A phrase, statement, or otherwise form of communication that is Redundant, repeated to the point of annoying, or rephrased as to where it means the same thing..
My boss just got back from the Department of Redundancy Department, hes telling me of all his exploits and my wrong doings.
A set of words in common usage that includes a needless modifier. Not to be confused with an oxymoron (where two terms of the same phrase literally contradict each other) or euphamism (a phrase used to change the emotional charge of a a word or phrase).
Examples of actual redundancies:
- ATM machine ("Automatic teller machine machine"? Just say "ATM".)
- PIN number ("Personal identification number number"?)
- "Call now for your FREE GIFT!" (well of course it's free, otherwise it wouldn't be a gift!)
- end result
- bare naked
- past experience
1. a place where you send your friends as a sort of punishment for being, saying, or doing something redundant. the redundant act must be unnecessary or unneeded.
3. a place where you send your friends as a remedy for being, saying or doing something twice, or more than one time or repeating repeating themselves in various ways that are different but mean the same thing.
3. a home for redundants
That's it, (to redundant friend) your going to the redundant school of redundancy for the chronically redundant.
