B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for September 25, 2013

I received my Education at the Redundant School of Redundancy.

Your (our) government in action, apparently no matter where you’re from!

see my post at Ten Cats yesterdat re: redundancy…

Their favorite book is the Thesaurus.

Too many extra unnecessary repetitive superfluous redundant repetitive words.

Shouldn’t the sign say “Department of Redundancy Department”?

it’ll work better if you open your eyes

The Department!

“Count off!”

LOL Really good one!

you can say that again.

That’s redundant, repetitious, self-repeating and superfluous;sort of like “close proximity.” Like what other kind of proximity is there? I mean, if it isn’t close, it isn’t proximate. Yet every newscaster uses the term. Just what do they teach in journalism schools? Whatever is on the curricula, English isn’t.

Come to think of it, the term, “pregnant woman” is redundant. Who else gets pregnant? (At least until some future date when some man does it because some scientist figured out a way to do it – but I’ll bet it won’t be as much fun). True, other mammals can get pregnant, but we should be able to figure out from the context of the conversation that we are talking about people, not animals.

Unfortunately, if it is important to make the distinction that a woman is pregnant, I can’t think of any other way to say it (euphemisms aside).

On the BBC news I once heard the phrase redundancy pay. Found out it is what we’ed call severance pay.

that society was disbanded by decree of the Tautology Society

This will be followed by a screening of the movie “Groundhog Day”.

We’re all here because we’re not all “there”.

The sign should read “Department of Redundancy Department”

I like that. Fits nicely with the Redundant Department of Redundancy Department.

wish people would leave religion and politics out of the comics that’s no place for them
