Tautologies

[reddevil1111]

Abnvet- I was MI as well-

 

[Jimmy1]

errr, I don't get this one?

Alan, some of them I don't get either. I think they must be smoking something.

A tautology is two words which are used to describe the same thing.

Mass Exodus
Willing Volunteer

Pretty Ugly and Jumbo Shrimp are 'Oxymorons' are a figure of speech with contradictory terms. Like Intelligence Officer.

 

[reddevil1111]

mass exodus would not be a tautology then as it takes both words to describe one thing- apart neither supports the other.
Just as a willing volunteer wont work either.
Close proximity-that works...
shoot to kill -nope
punitive sentence -yes kind of
high speed-yes
torrential downpour-no
drunk and disorderly-maybe
calm and collected-yes
bright sunlight-yes
lost without trace-ummm no
And every one I posted wont do under your requirements either. So 90% of this post and all the others have become irrevent based upon your criteria. :)

I am now confused too. I did not go all the way through high school. Maybe I should have.

regular routine works as they are similar, so will unmarried bachelor. True fact wont and most of the rest are no as well.
You threw so many on the wall that a few stick but I think you still dont understand what Jimmy says it is...each word must stand alone to describe the same thing. So if they dont- its a no.
