I'll bet she masticates regularly as well.
Do you think she osculates too?

"Are you aware that [Senator] Claude Pepper is known all over Washington as a shameless extrovert? Not only that, but this man is reliably reported to practice nepotism with his sister-in-law, he has a brother who is a known homo sapiens, and he has a sister who was once a thespian in wicked New York. Worst of all, it is an established fact that Mr. Pepper, before his marriage, habitually practiced celibacy." -attributed to future Senator George Smathers (D-FL), quoted from Wikipedia

What was it Charley Kane said: "Charles Foster Kane is a scoundrel. His paper should be run out of town. A committee should be formed to boycott him. You may, if you can form such a committee, put me down for a contribution of one thousand dollars."

This one is a little "geeky" but I've been reading some specifications at work that keep talking about GD&T Tolerencing. That has really been bothering me because it gets repeated throughout the entire document.
GD&T = Geometric dimensioning & tolerencing.

Same reason I hate it when people say "ATM Machine."
Re: Deparatment of Redundancy Department
Someone actually wrote an entire book on this thread topic.
Armed Gunmen, True Facts, and Other Ridiculous Nonsense: A compiled compendium of repetitive redundancies by Richard Kallan, Pantheon Books.
He has about 130 pages, two or three per page, some of them containing several riffs on the same theme ("wealthy millionaire" / "indigent poor"). He includes two full pages where people use an acronym and then tack on a word that is part of the acronym.
"undisclosed secret location" and "convicted felon" are two that jump out after flipping a few pages.

As a DU grad I was proud we hosted the debate and all the positive publicity that went with it. But Jim Lehrer and several others referred to "The University of Denver in Denver, Colorado." It's important to differentiate between DU and that other DU in Denver, Rhode Island.

"Military veterans" causes my hair to burst into flames. We have a cabinet level department of the federal government, headed by a Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and no explanation of who that refers to is necessary.

Plus the other 2 than nobody care about. It's the "participation trophy" syndrome, or maybe "if I make a post season tournament, any tournament, I won't get fired" league.
Re: Deparatment of Redundancy Department
Hmm...it didn't even occur to me that my post might be interpreted in that context!
I was merely noting the National Invitational Tournament Tournament redundancy, akin to ATM Machine or PIN Number.....

For a minute there, I thought you were going to reference the Cleveland University of Nano-Technology.
They are accredited by the Portland Engineers' National Institute of Standards, I believe.
