redundeency

How Walkabout Mick's audience would have viewed his performances if he'd presented the same acts too close together.

Watching Crocodile Mick wresting reptiles may indeed be a novel experience, but seeing it too much at a time would be redundeency.

redundancy

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

redundant school of redundancy for the chronically redundant

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.

Redundancy

A complete and utter result where you get to leave your mundane job behind and 'focus on your career' (that's find another McJob to normal people) with the added bonus of a payout not to do the job you hate any more.

Officially, there's a selection pool but it'll generally be determined by how pissed off your manager is with you when 'efficiency savings' (that's lay offs to us normal people) need to be made.

The best modern use of the phrase 'crying all the way to the bank'.

Employee is called into a room:

Manager: Profits have fallen and we need to make some efficiency savings. Unfortunately (this is shit, your boss doesnt give a fuck about you) your post has been selected for redundancy.

Employee: Oh no. This is terrible news.

Will you pay my notice in lieu?

Manager: Yes

Employee: What's the payout?

Manager: A month for every year of service. You'll get £20,000 tax free.

Employee finds another job and has a pile of cash in their account.
