The Department of Redundancy Department

Redundancy is making a clarification that doesn't have to be made, the equivalent of saying the same thing twice. We do it incessantly all the time. Redundancies include:

  • connect them together
  • genuine sincerity
  • bobbing its head up and down
  • nodding his head (we don't nod anything else!)
  • shrugging his shoulders
  • visible to the eye (duh)
  • we were assuming in our minds
  • scattered here and there
  • gasped for air
  • hot embers
  • retreating back
  • a brief second
  • at this point in time
  • pacing back and forth 

What are your favorite redundancies?
