Redundonym

Redundonym: noun. The word made up by one to convey a concept that already has a word. An example is: "unsmart" instead of "unintelligent". These stop being redundonyms and simply become synonyms for a word if they are recognized by language authorities such as this blog. This recognition doesn't necessarily have to be admitted by the official, but if you claim your word is a synonym rather than a mere redundonym and the official has not recognized it; the others will never believe you.

Fragment 11:

Or so he thought; but as Christina kept talking Herb found himself perfectly capable of believing these theories, partially because his moronometer was not showing any appreciable readings above background stupidity, however he chose not to. Adding to her theories Christina revealed that the waterman statue was newly frenchised, claiming it was necessary, and claimed that it was, in fact, not a statue; instead it was a real, fossilized waterman. Herb insisted that Christina tell him what she was planning, she replied sarcastically "To make longer lasting gum", they stared at each other for a while as Herb's patience with her sophisticity decreased in idiomatic size before Christina spoke again. She spoke as if Herb was the world's most idiomatically large nerb, "To break the loop of course!" As if she was somehow aware of the sentence that was later used to describe her actions in this blog, she proceeded to taunt Herb for being such a nerb. Herb was wandering why the waterman's frenchising was necessary, but didn't ask out of fear that Christina would say he was incredibly jarjarian.
