"it's a lot of rubbish based on nothing if you ask me"
True, like I highly doubt people 20 minutes up the road become 'less sound' just because there happens to be a border between you.
But I thought it was interesting enough - pretty sure it's the same site that did the "Counties with the sexiest accents" from a few weeks ago, so take that as you will |

"it's a lot of rubbish based on nothing if you ask me
That's what an unsound Cavan person would say 
You could argue that's a pleonasm 
You could, if you knew what the fuck it was? "
It rhymes with spasm |

Pleonasm (/'pli??næz?m/; from Greek p?e??asµ?? (pleonasmós), from p???? (pleon), meaning 'more, too much') is the use of more words or parts of words than are necessary or sufficient for clear expression: examples are black darkness, burning fire.

Good example. Shakespeare uses the phrase "the dark of night" a few times. Like in "a midsummer's night dreams" the phrase baffled me slightly years ago, and came across pleonasm. |
