What do the following items have in common?
The La Brea Tar Pits
A PIN number
The River Avon
Mount Fuji-yama
A hot water heater
They all contain redundancies.
The La Brea Tar Pits ("la brea" means "the tar")
PIN Number (PIN == "personal identification number")
The River Avon ("Avon" == "River"?)
Mount Fuji-yama (either "Fuji" or "yama" == mountain?)
Hot Water Header (Hot + Heater)
My favorite along these lines was an old TV commercial that said the business in question was on "the El Camino Highway".
