The third and fourth ones on the list are NOT redundancies (in the sense that the second one is). Yehuda does not mean lion and Binyomin does not mean wolf. Just because those people are associated with those animals does not mean that the two together mean the same thing.
The Wolf
But this is supposed to be oxymorons not redundancies or repetitions,
I introduced some redundancies earlier.
redundancies or repetitions
That’s one!
The old Yiddish joke obout redundancies is supposed to go like this:
Good Yom Tov
Mayim Acharonim Vasser
Ungarishe narunim

Or “You’re disgusting, ZeesKite”
daas yochid, those redundencies r really good!
