I’ll second that!

Or, a lying politician.

First they came for the singers, and I did not speak out because I was not a singer.

Then they came for the jugglers, and I did not speak out because I was not a juggler.

Then they came for the mimes, and I did not speak out because I can’t stand pantomime. (At least they went quietly.)

!

Love that kid.

A very smart kid.

A mime is a terrible thing to waste.

That was redundant, prolix, superfluous, pleonastic, and needlessly repetitive.

Drives me crazy when peoples say “Hot water heater.”

If you’re made redundant in the U.K. , it means you got laid off.

“Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.” — Mark Twain

How about a “tuna fish” sandwich or salad???

That’s not technically redundant. Redundancy assumes there’s been a previous iteration that is duplicated. Telling a mime to shut up is, as DR2000 states, superfluous, but not repetitive since there’s not an apparent previous command. In the end, it’s simply unnecessary and a waste of breath. I’ll bet his teacher knows better.
