I remember they called the SNES the "Super SNES" on Bad Influence back in the day.

Dundetious isn't even a real word.

Do you mean redundant?

Okay...I invented a word. I was bored at work at the time. What else are you going to do?

Thought it was close enough to redundant to get away with and was hoping to see it appear in the OED in a couple of years...thanks for spoiling the fun iNma...
