    This is SO commonly, and annoyingly used…

    Our local weatherman uses this phrase – over and over and over. It drives me nuts!

    It reminds me the common usage ‘fell down’, while ‘fell’ is enough. Nothing and no one can ‘fall up’.

    Is this not just a reaffirmation not a pleonasm?  Or perhaps all pleonasms are reaffirmations, annoying but not wrong in the truest sense.
