Wacky Word Wednesday - Pleonasm

Pleonasm

is like a mouth orgasm,
a tip of the tongue spasm,
or redundant sarcasm -
pleonasm.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.

  1. As much as I run my mouth, you'd think I'd have heard this one by now ;D

    1. Ah, but I wouldn't really call you redundant. :)

  2. Dear Rachel,
    I've never seen or heard this word used, but I think I'm guilty of it many times...can't help it...we poets can be over-expressive sometimes! LOL
    Thanks for sharing and also for providing the link to free images. I've been deleting images from my blog following a post I read a couple of days ago about copyright that just scared me into action.

    If you have time, come linkup to Blog Hop Saturday! happening this Fri & Sat Aug 3-4th. I'll be putting up a new Linky on Fri.

Rhyming or not, I would like a lot to hear the thoughts my words brought...
