What's the word for when you use two redundant words together? Like when you say, "Annoying Shitcoiner is a _______" as a joke because the Venn diagram of annoying people and shitcoiners is a circle (or "Annoying Bitcoiner" if you're a shitcoiner)? #asknostr

pleonasm

I know that's like, the "right" word, but it's not the one I would always use.. 🫤

a synonoym for pleonasm maybe? tautology? Or redundancy?

This is going to really bug me because I'm starting to think I'm misremembering it 🤔🤔🤔

Nothing I see in terms of synonyms looks familiar even though they all mean exactly what I want to say. Man 😩

My sister suggested that I'm thinking of Oxymoron but for the opposite usage. I'm starting to think she's right.

Ah that makes sense

Tautology

Thanks, my brain was malfunctioning and I was thinking of oxymoron for what was actually a tautology 😂

😂 I had said that one 🤙🏾

“Annoying shitcoiner” is a tautology. Or a pleonasm. Or even a tautological pleonasm.

Yeah, it turns out I was thinking of oxymoron, which is the complete opposite 😂🤣

I don't understand venn diagrams. Please explain this to me like I'm a vice-president.

Well you see when a boy circle loves a girl circle very much...
