Pleonasms: using unnecessary words.

 

Here are a few seedy examples:

I saw it with my own eyes: You might have borrowed another pair?

Free gift: Not so fast when you open the Christmas present.

A burning fire: Maybe it’s time for one that’s not so hot!

Past history: Come on folks, let’s get some new history!

True fact: What your girlfriend sorta told you.

Here are some of my favorite unnecessary words that challenge the mouths of the poorest English speakers:

"I like used it in every like sentence, because I like to like use it." These poor souls will soon find themselves at a loss for like, like, like words. 

And that’s only a like starting point.

Now for more words that scrape my ears and make me throw things at the TV. Glad I don’t have a dog. 

The F-word is one that is used over and over. Not that I âm at a loss for such, but now it is often used as much as "like." Might as well conjoin them.

"I am like F-ing tired of it!" 

And F-ing is often replaced with fricking. Oh yeah!  Gosh, that lets people can know you are being polite. 

Why not jump right in with poo-poo-head? Or you’re a real hole in one? Or, she is a real Itch?

Somebody, maybe me, will use pleonasms so the "like" crowd will like F-ing understand and be able to hear with their ears.
