    "Incredibly Redundant"

    I apologise if there is already a thread about this, but I couldn't see one, and this has been bugging me for a while now.

    In "The Siege part 1", Weir and Zelenka are discussing the Ancient database in Atlantis.

    ZELENKA: "... I’m more concerned about Ancient database; its ability to back up data. It’s incredibly redundant."
    WEIR: "‘Incredibly redundant’?"
    ZELENKA (laughing): "Yeah, that one never gets old. But seriously..."

    *blink* What one? Did Weir make a joke? Did Zelenka mis-pronounce his line, and she was making fun of him? Is ‘Incredibly redundant’ not correct English or something? I remember watching this scene with a friend a while ago, and after this little exchange we just exchanged a look of confusion. "Did I miss something?" "Dunno... maybe it's an American pun or something." "Maybe... who knows."

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Coming soon to Syfy and DVD... hopefully!

          English puns. Let's break it down shall we? Redundant. what does this word me. let's look it up.

          Define Redundant : see dictionary definition for the word Redundant

          I think your both being a bit redundant on the topic.

          this post was brought to you by the State Oversight Department of the Federal Department of State Oversight.

          Redundant is circular logic. many puns use Redundant logic to emphasize the circle.

          i hope that was enough for you to understand, please take no offense at anything in this post. If you still don't understand you most likely never will as it doesn't translate well enough for you.

              Yes, the JOKE is repeating/restating the original comment on redundancy...old...old joke.

              See SG-1 Season 6 Episode 20 (Memento)

              Ronson: There is no redundancy for that particular system.

              O'Neill: So you're saying there's no redundancy?

                  Do you have an amazing memory or just recently watched that episode?

                  O’NEILL: I hope you like Guinness, Sir. I find it a refreshing substitute for food.
                  Jack O'neill: I hope you diplomatically told him where to shove it.
                  Teal'c:If you once again try to harm me or one of my companions, my patience with you will expire.
                  Carter: You know, you blow up one sun and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water.
                  Thor:I like the yellow ones
                  O´Neill:Hey, if you had been listening, you´d know that Nintendos pass through everything.

                        Exceeding what is necessary or natural; superfluous

                        Needlessly wordy or repetitive in expression
                        both are apt in this case

                        the "incredibly" is superfluous as its already in the meaning of "redundant". zalenka was over-emphasizing with something that was already "redundant"
