"redonedant" for redundant

Repetitive stuff, that’s been done before, and redone, can just get redonedant.

Hotel review
The food gets a little redonedant but you can always find something to eat.

Music video critique
you improve you remix some of the effects is redonedant. but you have a talent….go for it.

Vietnamienne blog
sigh the occassional stop to scratch and re-apply benadryl itch relief is getting redonedant.

Redonedone makes the “done and redone” point very clearly. A double-yolker, and self-referential to boot.

Filipino komiks superheroine actress
who ever will play darna next will not have the same honor and prestige like the previous actresses had. the role itself has been redonedone.

DC Comics means Detective Comics Comics
Comment: im just sayin dat its redonedone

Filipino exchange
LOL, I double posted, I thought the first one did not go through, so I made up another one. How do I delete the first or second, it is redone done anyway.

Filipino boxing forum
LUSOB, your question is a redone-done. We answer that before.

Re: "redonedant" for redundant

Sheer genious. I love it!
.
Again:

One of the things that we are pretty strong on is the idea of reliability, redonedancy and interoperability.

But I didn’t find any redonedonecy, unfortunately.

Re: "redonedant" for redundant

Plenty of “redonedent” examples, too (i.e., with an “e” in last syllable). “Redonedone” is exquisite, but rare, and seems to have a Philippine connection.


Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.

Very cool. Gotta love it when the eggcorn sounds exactly like the acorn.

Probably not by accident: the Philippine languages generally make extensive use of reduplication. (Every language uses repetition to some degree, but these make an art and a habit of it.)
