superfluously redundant: repeat

i am in the 99% of time when creativity eludes me so i thought i would just overstate the obvious, wonder how some people get paid to write, and share other quirks of words that make me scoff and laugh simultaneously.

Probably the most redundant redundancy is 8AM in the morning or 7PM at night
this one gets beat to death by tv radio and www

Another favorite: "Very unique"
Unique by definition is unmatched
something is either unique or it is not
there are no degrees of one-of-a-kindness

(We take care of two cats at my office)
Some dumbass visiting my boss felt the need to tell me how cats are nocturnal at night.
I said as opposed to being nocturnal in the daytime? But something shiny had already caught his eye
fucking magpie
Technically nocturnal is an adjective so cats are nocturnal 24/7 but he was still a redundant douche bag
douche rinse repeat

These next affronts to the English language i have recently heard or read from serious journalists
no holes barred
the die was cast
escape goat
people got paid get these phrases in print or tv/www

Another rediculous question - "What time is it now?"
What as opposed to what time was it five minutes ago or what time will it be in two minutes?
no - What time is it now?
Why it's 8AM in the morning, fuckface
