Did you see the discussion on Free Republic on “pleonasm” yesterday? Maybe it could be word of the day one of these days. Can’t remember what thread prompted it.
ple·o·nasm (pl -n z m). n. 1. a. The use of more words than are required to express an idea; redundancy. b. An instance of pleonasm.
no, but that sounds like a good one. my mind keeps wanting to reorder it into NEOPLASM though!
