Department of Redundancy Department

[Dr. Feelgood]

Does it seem to you (as it does to me) that creeping redundancy is taking over our language? Do redundant phrases affect you like fingernails on a blackboard? Post your most irritating examples here.

To start: "free gift." How can it be a gift if you have to pay for it?

I'm not too happy about "unique individual", either.
