RAS Syndrome
the unfortunate affliction demonstrated when someone feels the need to state the last word of a 3 letter acronym, as if it wasnt part of the acronym in the first place.
i forgot my pin number when i went to use the atm machine!
(translation) i forgot my personal identification number number when i went to use the automatic teller machine machine!
you will note the irony of the acronym itself, which stands for redundant acronym syndrome syndrome, which is a ras syndrome itself!
