Well, that was an unnecessary waste of time.
Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

The lounge is an unnecessary waste of time. But it doesn't do much harm and it can be fun.

The link claims that ABM missle is a tautology because it stands for "Anti Balistic Missile missile" but it's not a tautology because it's a missile that shoots down balistic missiles so the two "Missiles" is necessary.
Other tautologies:
"Idiot socialist"
"Arrogant Frenchman"
"Fat Chav"
