Tautologies are probably my favorite part of the English language. They are so fun, and anyone can play. Basically what you do is, you say something and then you say it again super redundant-like. Here are some examples that I have noticed other people saying:
"We got all the things we got." -My brother David on Christmas morning when he was 3 (and every one of my siblings on every Christmas morning for the rest of forever.)
"You only know what you know." -A supposedly inspiring academic poster encouraging you to learn more stuff
"I just need the cards I need." -Ian while playing Phase 10
"Mom is our mom because she's our mom." -David, on the specifics of family history
"I guess your face is a face." -David probably said this one too, but I haven't the foggiest idea as to why
"By way of announcement, we have several announcements." -Bishop in Sacrament Meeting
Now you try!
Wow, I'm pretty good at tautologies!
