Fun & Games Redundant Redundancies

Surely the 'cleverest' of these is ballistic missile which is offensive on two levels:
1) ballistic means 'thrown' and missile means.... 'thrown object'
2) ballistic is from Latin and missile is from (ancient) Greek, and nothing pisses off classical scholars more than mixing the two source languages....

 

Oooh, I love this game!

I can "visually see" something

Go make "advance reservations"

Read up on "basic fundamentals"

Exhibit some "natural instincts"

Make use of "past experience"

There are a boatload of these....

 

"It's deja vu again"

 

Rear tail lights

 

"occasional irregularity" was in the comics this moring....:wink:

 

"New and improved" if it's new how can it be improved

 

Conversely, if it is improved, it can't be new.

And for that matter, isn't 'improved' purely subjective?

 

Hope and Change :frown2:

 

Anytime I receive instructions to do something I have already done or have two people assign the same task to me, I usually comment that the request must have been issued by the Department of Redundancies Department.
