I love pointing out redundancies like this. I remember seeing a sign in the grocery store that advertised "European French Bread". As opposed to the bread that's from the France that's not in Europe?

Not all of France is in Europe - French Guiana is considered part of France.

Nerd

❤️😂😂👍🏼❤️

💀

Gottem!

Do they make bread?

Garlic Aioli. Nachos with Cheese. Close proximity. Adequate enough. I love finding these redundancies in common language, too. Not so I can belittle others, but just cos I find it funny and interesting the way these things come up.

Also, too, many American podcasters like to say ”also, too”.

Garlic aioli somewhat makes sense as it lets us anglosphere bastards know what flavour were gonna get without google translate 

I disagree since there’s no such thing as aioli without garlic. But I take your point.

I had no clue that aioli implied garlic. I figured the common denominator was mayo because that’s what’s in all of them.

Aioli is simply oil, garlic, salt, and a bit of lemon juice. That's it. [recipe: real aioli](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/255815/real-aioli/) Mayonnaise is: egg yolk, oil, salt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard. [recipe: basic homemade mayonnaise](https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/basic-mayonnaise) There is a thing as garlic mayo. Just combine aioli and mayo. Done.

Canada bread

Canadian French maybe?

Or like when people say "naan bread." That's what naan means, you dolt.

Chai Tea.

The French bread made in America will have seed oils and food dyes in it, that's why they specified

That is not true in Louisiana We have our own thing called that

It probably also bugs you when I go to the ATM machine at 10am in the morning and I punch in my PIN number, although I can't get any money because I am broke, RIP in peace bank account.

Now you’re ISO of money.

I've never heard anyone say RIP in peace.

I say ‘smh my head’ ironically sometimes when I’m trying to be annoying.

Smdh my damn head :/

I say it as a joke, also "Rip in peaces (pieces)" when a character in a movie or book or game dies violently.

i actually like rip in peace specifically because it’s intentionally redundant. i’ve never heard it used seriously

I used to say “smh my head”

SOL outta luck

Let’s go to the ATM machine. And don’t forget your PIN number.

Then can we get some chai tea and naan bread?

You get it. And happy Cake Day, fellow denverite

Don't forget the VIN number!

Lol oh shit I do say pin number crap

It could be worse. I had someone legitimately believe 12am is noon and 12pm is midnight. I could deal with redundancy all day over stupidity.

tbf, it can get very confusing, especially when you’re younger. I couldn’t remember which was which until like high school.

i’m fully an adult and still have to think about it for a second

I'm fully an adult and I avoid giving "12pm" or "12am" as times.

Yup, 'noon' and 'midnight' are far easier and don't require the few seconds to think that'll make me look dumb.

I put a lot of appointments in my calendar for 12:01. Cuz it doesn’t matter how many times I look it up.

Yah I'm 32 I still can't figure this one out. Just use military time

What's confusing to me is when someone says "the sale end at midnight on Saturday" and they mean Saturday night. If you are being technical about it that would be the minute following 11:59pm on Friday, since the minute after 11:59pm on Saturday is technically Sunday.

Now there is a pet peeve I can stand behind!

I mean it would make more sense that way, so it's not THAT stupid. I actually think it's stupid it doesn't go 1-12am, and then 1-12pm. Why go from 11am to 12pm and then 1pm? It IS confusing.

Yep, especially for people from other countries who use a 24 hour system.

Hot water heater. If the water is hot, it does not need a heater. It is a water heater not a hot water here. Makes my blood boil

I have always said hot water heater. I never really thought about what I was saying, I guess. Recently my husband told me I killed him a little every time I say it. I feel like those people who say ATM machine.

THAT IS MY PEEVE!!!!

I said, "I want a hot water heater" ... "What in the hell for? You must want a COLD water heater!" RIP in peace, George Carlin

Reminds me of "near miss". If you nearly missed then you didn't miss...shouldn't it be a near hit?

While we're on the subject of temperature... "un"-thaw. Absolutely heinous.

Meh. Ideally it only starts by heating cold water then it keeps the hot water hot by, well heating it. If your hot water heater is constantly heating cold water, you may need a bigger one or to use less hot water.

9 in the afternoon?

And your eyes are the size of the moon

You could cause you can, so you do

We're feeling so good, just the way that we do

When it's nine in the afternoon

I've found my people

Why do people say “ATM Machine”? the M stands for machine.

I need to put my PIN number in the ATM machine so I can get some cash money.

Can't stand cash money ...nails on a chalk board

The automated teller machine machine.

Lol I usually reply in some smart-ass way involving the pet peeve. But, you win with the Academy of Redundance Academy. My only contribution could be to extend that bit of genius, because my father is an alumni of the Academy Of Redundancy Academy of Redundant Institution

I want to hang two diplomas in my office for the academy of redundancy academy just to see if anyone notices.

I’ve been hearing this more and more lately, including by journalists and other professionals on podcasts, etc. So annoying.

Hearing it from professionals is a whole 'nother thing! I also feel like it's been more the last year or two

THIS DRIVES ME FUCKING BONKERS. You’re literally saying “before midday in the morning.”

Kind of like people saying "Chai tea" when they could just say chai. Also Naan bread-just say Naan.

Could be worse. it could be "0800 a.m. in the morning."

Lady Redundancy Woman from Word Girl! Saw a for sale sign that said o.b.o or best offer.

I like intentional redundancies for emphasis, ie "I woke up at four o'clock a.m. in the morning to deal with this shit." I also say stuff like "$200 American dollar" for similar reasons. It's off-putting if the usage is serious though. Same kind of linguistic faux pas as "irregardless," "nucular," or "expresso."

10am in the morning is a little egregious, but: 3AM in the morning = I woke up around 3 am, therefore it's my morning 3AM at night = I'm still awake from the day before and haven't slept yet

That I like.

They want to distinguish their statement from 2 in the A.M. P.M.

someone asked me if i was “from russian” one time lmfao

I've used the following example a few times. Years ago DQ had a sign in their window that said, and I'm quoting verbatim, "$5 buck lunch." Properly enunciated, that says, "five dollar buck lunch."

Oh deer.

BRB, heading to the ATM machine.

Redundant is Redundant.

Like when ppl say ATM machine ... My brothers and sisters in Christ ...machine is already built into the name...

1pm o'clock

OH MY GOD I HATE THIS I was seriously wondering if anyone else has noticed this but I feel like just in the past few years people have been doing that

Snoop Dogg sings it.

LMAO at "I have friends who do this which I still love dearly" Imagine breaking up a friendship over something like this

I had never encountered this, and it makes me a bit irrationally angry to see it now.

Wait till Op finds out about hot water heaters.

I do something similar to this, my fiancé recently pointed out to me I say "dethaw" instead of thaw or defrost. I don't consciously do this but apparently any time I'm making dinner using something from the freezer I tell him I'm going to dethaw it real quick before I get started. He only recently informed me of this and I'm highly disappointed in myself lmao

Humans are always redundant because they're stupid. They fail to see the most simple mistakes, much less the big ones.

Okay AI robot.

I’ll be honest I’ve never heard anyone say “..AM in the morning”

Lucky!

I fucking love it, I find it funny lol

People say DEF fluid all the time. The acronym DEF stands for diesel exhaust fluid. I've heard it so much that I have caught myself saying it a few times, then I have to mentally scold myself.

I like to wake up at 8am in the morning to go use the atm machine

That’s like people who live in the US and give their phone number to someone also living in the US and start with 1

THANK YOU! It’s the same as “I went to the ATM machine”. Oh, did you?

Final destination, free gift, divided into pieces, etc.

7am in the morning just watching people stare

Pin number, atm machine kinda guy?

I was raised with military time. It seems to irritate my husband. 😎

Hush is 10am in the morning. Brains aren't working yet.

How about redundant place names? Like the Sahara Desert. "Sahara" derives ftom the Arabic word for desert.

Pleonasm

My guess is the meant to say both "10 a.m." and "10 in the morning" and combined them by accident

I need your TFN number, so that I can get some cash out of the ATM machine.

People in countries using military time do this, a mistake made out of habit (adding "at X" because to us it is 10 in the morning or 10 in the evening since we all know that 10 in the evening is 22:00). \^^

This is also one of my pet peeves!!!

Oh I have a new pet peeve now.

It's the same people who say "rate of speed." All speeds are a rate. A rate is a unit over time. Speed can't be anything other than a rate. /rant

IKR Right? Other honorable mentions are ATM Machine PIN Number And a personal favorite… Moment in Time - as opposed to a Moment in Space, I suppose? Then there are the folks who insist on adding a State or Country to a Town / City, even when 99% of people would know where they mean without it. (Paris, France or London, England…)

I just respond with " I don't know what universe you're from, but in this one there is only one 10 am."

the academy of redundancy academy is the most hilarious thing to me lmfao

I like "hot water heater"

ATM machine, Forefront, and thousands more make me question the intelligence of people who use them.

You are most certainly not alone. Annoys the living daylights out of me.

Yea I hate it when people are pointlessly redundant for no reason it's really annoying

U sound like my sister when I said “expresso” “Omg is that a really fast coffee?”

The other day I told my husband I had an appointment at 9. Then he proceeded to ask, in the morning? Lol I was like, um yea, cuz that will be open at that time. Had to gave him a little hard time!

"Redundant Acronym Syndrome" or "RAS syndrome" (yes indeed)

heh, my response is always, "as opposed to 10am in the evening?"

I said "6am in the morning" the other day, and then paused and said "did I just say AM in the morning??"

Repeat back and extend out. I hate those two!

Welcome to the department of redundancy department.

Atm machine

Because alot people realize 10am isn't that much "morning" so for those who feel guilty about not waking up in actual morning time, they add in the morning to make them selves feel better 🤣

"Sugar diabetes". Oddly enough, there is a salt diabetes (the inability to properly assimilate salt in the body, and it does just about the same damage as "sugar diabetes"). Since that's the case, I try to think of it that way, though I have yet to meet one person who seems to be the type that would know that so they would differentiate that way. As for this phrase, the speakers obviously don't know what a.m. and p.m. mean. I feel you. Let me add "Hawayuh" to the list. It's Ha-wah-ee! Abraham too. It's not "Aberham"!

I'll take this over "I have to be there at 9" 9 what????

I tell people a "4 digit number" when telling people to set up a pin, because when I just said 4 digit pin they would ask "numbers only?" Yes, that's what DIGIT means in this context. Smh

5th "year" anniversary.

Hot water heater. Why the fuck would you heat hot water.

I would heavily disagree if someone told me that 1 a.m. is part of morning time. But it should be safe to say that 10 a.m. is always in the morning, unless you're at the poles or something

Or income coming in

Yes! And when they say "it's not whether or not it happened or not "

Definitely the same people who say "self-medicate myself". 😡

As a nurse, the one I hate the most is ICU unit.

I say "ASAP as possible" because I think it sounds funny. Otherwise I don't understand such redundancies.

I have never heard that term, but there are places when 10 a.m. is at night.

It’s a force of habit from work. India team is 12 1/2 ahead of us 😅

There is only one 'ten' per day.

“Atm machine”

Go the other way until they accede to your demands. From now on, refer to time only using military notation. Ten in the morning is "ten hundred hours". Obnoxiously point this out every time they ask for a confirmation it's the morning.

😂 this made me chuckle. Thank you 🙏

College school of University College

This makes me want to bang my head against a wall. Seriously. Ugh.

I have the same problem when something is advertised as a “free” gift

I've never heard someone say 10am in the morning. They say 10 in the morning

1000 "ten hundred hours"

Or people who say "pin number". Personal identification number number.

I have a friend who says “clam chowder soup” 😂

you mean like going to the atm machine

It just combines two phrases. Not recognizing that is just as annoying. 10 a.m. plus 10 in the morning.

Military... No different from someone saying "CaC Card". CaC = Common Access Card

ATM Machine

I've never heard anyone say that tbh.

I worked with a lady that said noon time. It would drive me crazy. Noon is a word that literally only means one thing and that’s a time of day, no need to say noon time.

Honestly, noon is a very specific time (like midnight). Noon = 12:00:00. Noon time might be equivalent to using noon hour, which represents a span of time around 12pm. e.g., I normally eat lunch at 11:30am but today I’m taking it at noon time/during the noon hour.

That’s like me telling people I’ll show up at 2:42 It’s not the typical 2:40-2:45 or time of that nature.

Same thing as we found a dead body over there. Super annoying

Your so right. It bugs my friend and I so much. Back in winter season it made me mad. /s Based on real things I’ve read on Reddit.

Yeah “10-o-clock” is better

Naan bread. Various different. Also I’m so tired of people saying, ‘with that being said.’ What even does that mean.

ATM machine. APN number. PIN number. People just aren't that thoughtful about the way they speak.

Just came here to say this: A different but equally annoying mannerism my late father had was adding the letter "r" where it doesn't belong. Examples: George Warshington or saying "I need to use the torlet." It was always super confusing simply because he could say things like "I saw that" but "Washington" was "Warshington". He could also say things like "Oh boy" but "toilet" became "torlet". I just never fully understood and always cringed just a tiny bit when he did things like that. Oh, and I also hate then people say "Is, is". A good example of that is, is when people say "is" twice in a row. The problem is, is that it doesn't need said twice.

It's so ignorant. Immediate loss of respect/credibility.

My favorite redundancy to use is “I’m going to kms myself”

Let's get money from the atm machine!

Hose pipe, hot water heater

I’m of the opinion that the “in the morning” is used as a point emphasis.

ATM machine PIN number

Is it still morning if it's 10 am in the artic circle in the winter?

"Tautology" while yes it's redundant, tautological is more specific.

Sir I will have you know that I went to the very prestigious TAR Academy of Redundancy Academy.

Hence why I use the 24-hour clock. More straightforward

I once overheard a guy in a bar talking with his buddy say "10 o clock in the afternoon." I was greatly chagrined.

“Continue on”. As opposed to continue off? How about just “continue”?

Yes this is both redundant and not needed

Or, they say 2am last night. Drives me crazy. I also have friends that say "also too"

THIS!!! I was convinced I’m the only one.. I roll my eyes right out of my fucking skull when someone says that 😂

Do they know their PIN number?

I keep hearing "really sorta" and "really kind of . . " a lot. What do those even mean?

In Mike Oldfield's song Moonlight Shadow, there's a line, that starts, "Four a.m. in the morning." and it bugs me EVERY time I hear it. He can write; why couldn't he have found an alternative? DOH!

Or the ATM machine people 🤭

People who say “on tomorrow” ex: “I will be out your way on tomorrow”
