[edit] Redundonym

Redundonym (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Portmanteau of redundant and acronym. Wikipedia is not a dictionary or for things made up one day. Since the creator says he made up the term, and this forum also contains an enlightening comment, I think we're looking at someone trying to make their own term catch on via Wikipedia.
