Pleonasms

The word is new to me: pleonasm, a phrase that uses more words than necessary to get a point across. Here are examples you've probably heard:
1. Nape of the neck. There’s only one nape, and it’s the back of your neck. It’s possible we get confused by the “scruffs” of animals’ necks since there are other scruffs out there. If you’re ever talking about a nape, though, you can drop “of the neck.”

2. False pretense. This is one we all should have known before. Although pretense technically means any “claim or implication,” the vast majority of the time, our usage of “pretense” already implies falsehood. For example: when’s the last time you thought something was both pretentious and genuine?

3. Frozen tundra. “Tundra” comes from the Russian word for Arctic steppes, and tundra is generally characterized by permafrost, frozen subsoil. Technically, there is non-frozen Alpine tundra, so-called from lack of vegetation, not temperature. Still, the vast majority of tundra is frozen. So, whether you’re talking about northern Siberia or poking fun at North Dakotan winters, this phrase is generally redundant.

One common in my area is "Where are you located at?" which could be two words shorter. Mental_floss has more, with dozens more in the comments. Link

I think "false pretense" and "nape of the neck" are good example. There are problems with paring these down that I think have to do mostly with common usage. i.e. I don't think I have ever heard the word "nape" on it's own before. If I did I'd probably be confused. That's not to say that it shouldn't be shortened, just need to adjust the usage everywhere. Another very valid question to ask is "Is our perception of english valid here?" we think some words are unnecessary because they seem redundant so we remove them. Is the result any less english than before? the meaning may be continued but at what cost? the style of the english language. Carrying this thought on, maybe there should be a different word for these "phrases" something in between a word and a phrase, in affect making the entire phrase one unit. Maybe this concept is already here I just don't know of it...

the last example I don't think really counts because the words "located at" are specifiers, not repetitious. "Where are you?" by itself could have different meanings dependent on context. True "located at" is probably the default interpretation, but sans context it could mean a lot of things.

I don't know that toast counts. You can toast a lot of things that aren't bread. You can toast shredded coconut, almonds, pecans, ravioli, cheese, chickpeas, couscous ... well, I won't list them all.
