[Wyndru]

I've never heard that term. Sounds like a cool metal band name.

 

[Lean L]

Then explain aqua marine. That's an actual phrase for a color.

 

[Perknose]

Yes, it is. So is "very unique," a term that is nevertheless in widespread use.

 

[Zen0]

So is ATM Machine, and a million other phrases. Hope you weren't born yesterday.

The word is aquamarine. It derives from the Latin words for "sea" and "water." It is not redundant at all.

Aqua marine is not an actual phrase for anything in English. You've made a mistake many here make with numerous relatively common English words here. You've broken up one word into two words. Often this completely changes the meaning.

As you typed it, "aqua marine" would be a service member of a highly distinctive hue. 😉

While you know it as a color, it is primarily a gem. It has become a term for the shade which is its color, though, just not as you typed it.

 

[Schadenfroh]

You are not taking into account he possibility that the corpse has been reanimated and later put down again.

 

[rcpratt]

Not as redundant as "fill concrete fill," which someone here apparently thinks is a legitimate phrase.

 

[fustercluck]

Never heard of that phrase either, "Dead Carcass"

Not like ATM Machine 😛 - That's a real case of RAS Syndrome (Redundant acronym syndrome....syndrome.)

I always thought "automatic tellers" were compulsive snitches. I didn't know they had machines that did that. 😱

So you are saying it can't also be network interface controller card?

 

[MiniDoom]

This is your rebuttal? It seems redundant.
