Describe Shaped Like Itself here by self-demonstrating it. To say that a thing is shaped like itself is a tautology, a truthful phrase with no informational content, an unnecessary repetition of words meaning the same thing: "Free gratis" or "I can see it with my own eyes" or "It is what it is." In some instances, it may be used casually out of ignorance, such as in letters and emails ending in "rsvp please" (ignoring the fact that rsvp itself stands for "please reply"). Usually the redundancy has a purpose, though. Among them: As intensification: "kills bugs dead"; For clarification: "pin" and "PIN" (Personal Identification Number) sound identical, so adding "number" after PIN makes it clearer;note Although in what situation you would need to use physical pins while handling a PIN code at the same time is left up to the imagination. Because people don't realise an acronym already contains the word: "ATM" stands for "Automated Teller Machine", but some don't know that and thus say "ATM machine"; To clarify that something isn't just a name: "the anteater that eats ants". You wouldn't necessarily know that just from the name, since many animal names aren't literally true descriptives (for example, "bald Eagles" aren't really bald). For calling attention to the property of a thing, even if it's inherent: "he draws beautifully round circles"; To describe something as boring: describing a sofa as sofa-colored implies that its color is generic and unremarkable; Or it's just a more concise and glib way of phrasing things: compare "the state of being of this object is permanent and any attempts to modify its state are futile" with "it is what it is", or "rules are rules" as a corrective to "rules are made to be broken". Referring to a person like this is a common way of implying that the speaker knows that person very well, so they don't need to explain why that person acts or behaves the way they do. It is often used to wave off something unusual the person does as some form of idiosyncrasy on their part. This can also work in reverse with apparent contradictions, such as "he's not been himself lately". Furthermore, sometimes the concepts being used are not actually identical, even if they use the same term (e.g. "That soldier is a real soldier!", since "soldier" can mean both "member of the armed forces" and "The Stoic"). So, many apparent tautologies are worth thinking deeply about, as they often contain surprising insights. Tautology is also used as an important foundational principle in formal logic and philosophy, where it's known as the Law of Noncontradiction: "A is A, and is not non-A." The Law itself is an example, since it's a logical axiom, meaning any logical proof of the Law of Noncontradiction would have to depend on the Law of Noncontradiction to be a logical proof. In other words: Tautologies are true because tautologies are true. The name comes from William Shakespeare, who used tautologies a lot. This article was brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department, the department that brought you this article. Since it is 100 percent true while imparting no new information, this is a subtrope of Mathematician's Answer, which is a supertrope of this. This is also a supertrope of A Dog Named "Dog", as animals just named after their species are named after themselves. More generally related are Recursive Acronym for acronyms that use themselves in themselves, Captain Obvious, "El Niño" Is Spanish for "The Niño", Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep", Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and The Trope without a Title, which are some articles to which this one is related. Can often overlap and sound the same as Buffy Speak. Contrast Circular Reasoning, which can resemble this but is logically fallacious. |

Disney Animated Canon: In The Lion King, "Simba" translates to "lion" in Swahili. So they effectively named the lion in The Lion King "lion". (However, the baboon's name, "Rafiki", means "friend".) The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: The wonderful thing about tiggers, is tiggers are wonderful things. And Tigger is the only one. Peter Pan offers this bit of Indian language: In Robin Hood (1973), a group of two boys and two girlsnote Three of them are rabbit siblings, while the other is a turtle has this chant: |

A moment in the beginning of XxxHolic encounters this: It's a small running gag that, whenever Watanuki calls Mokona something (i.e., an animal), his reply will be "Mokona's not an [animal], Mokona's a Mokona!" |

The Simpsons: Ralph Wiggum firmly believes that "Fun toys are fun!" and thinks his cat's breath smells like cat food. In "Lisa's Wedding", his father, Chief Wiggum, ran a booth in a renaissance fair that featured amazing mythical creatures. From "Fear of Flying": From "Dumbbell Indemnity": "Call Mr. Plow, that's the name / That name again is Mr. Plow." From "Marge Vs. the Monorail": From "Behind the Laughter": Homer discusses the scene where he skateboards over Springfield Gorge in "Bart the Daredevil" and the painful aftermath. In "The Trouble With Trillions", when Mr. Burns shows Homer the trillion dollar bill he'd taken for himself, Homer says "Wow, that thing must be worth a fortune.". |

"Let things have been as they have been, nonetheless they've been somehow; so far it has never been that things would be nohow." - that's only one of the many golden thoughts by Josef Švejk, the main character of Jaroslav Hašek's opus magnum The Good Soldier Švejk. | |

Looney Tunes: In the short "Super-Rabbit", Bugs encounters rabbit-hater Cottontail Smith, who says "If there's one thing I hate more than a rabbit, it's two rabbits!". "Bill of Hare" has Bugs making the Tasmanian Devil think a train tunnel is a moose cave. Taz gets run over by a train, so Bugs tells him to face south when tracking a northbound moose. Taz gets run over by another train. In "Ain't She Tweet": And of course, Yosemite Sam's ultimatum to Bugs: In the 1939 cartoon "Naughty But Mice" with Sniffles, there's a product in the drug store called a repercolating percolator. Twice in What's Opera, Doc?, Bugs intones "May I inquire to ask?" |

In Naruto, the legendary Sannin (lit. "three ninja") are often called "the Three Sannin" in translations. Something between this and I Am Not Shazam is referring to the nine-tailed demon fox as "The 9-Tailed Kyuubi" (or other tailed beasts in a similar manner) as if "kyuubi" was a proper name, but it just means "nine tails" and we don't learn the real name of it (Kurama) or any of the other tailed beasts' names but Shukaku until very late in the series. |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978): Zaphod lands in a cave made out of marble, and tries to compare it to the slipperiest thing Ford can think of. Unfortunately, the slipperiest thing Ford can think of is the marble, leading to the statement "This marble is as slippery as this marble." Slartibartfast's workshop contains a chair that looks like it was made out of the ribcage of a Stegosaurus. "It was made out of the ribcage of a Stegosaurus," Slartibartfast explains. There's also apparently a blue policeman that's "shaped like a policeman!" "The Krikkit Song" from Episode 15: "Our lovely world's so lovely..." After an explosion sends the main characters to Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe: Later in the sequence, the group gets a call from Marvin the Paranoid Android who is in the Milliways car park. When Zaphod asks Marvin what he's doing there, he replies "Parking cars. What else does one do in a car park?" (Zaphod reiterates this when Arthur asks the same question.) |

Discworld has numerous examples, Terry Pratchett seems to love this trope. It's very common in Ankh-Morpork, where a previous Patrician of Ankh-Morpork banned all similes that cannot be proven true, a law Lord Vetinari still enforces—even a relatively benevolent dictator must have his fun. When "She had a face that launched a thousand ships" without historical evidence lands you in the crocodile pit, writing "She had a face that looked like a very beautiful face" is safer. In Soul Music, just after Imp y Celyn meets his bandmates, Lias tells him that "rock" is speciesist slang for "troll" in Ankh-Morpork. "Free advice what I am giving you gratis for nothing." Then again, he's a troll in the relatively warm Ankh-Morpork—not good for the brains of a silicaceous species. Neither is Scrape, a particularly wretched troll drug, which (combined with boyish shyness) might account for this flash of insight from the drug-addled Brick (in Thud!): Unseen Academicals: "They're pies, sir. Made of... pie." Also, "The ball shall be called the ball", Glenda's favorite football rule, which the characters take advantage of later in the book. From Night Watch: A convoluted example appears in Hogfather, when Ridcully asks the Senior Wrangler why they always hang up mistletoe at UU's all-male Hogswatchnight dinner. The Wrangler's improvised answer, as Ridcully points out, is essentially that the mistletoe is an important symbol ... of mistletoe. There's been a monster or two in the Discworld books with eyes the size of very large eyes. In Making Money, Moist describes the Pink Pussycat Club as "an ogling establishment. For oglers." The beginning of Guards! Guards! has "thieves thieved, assassins assassinated, and hussies hustled." At the end of Snuff, when Sam and Young Sam are eating winkles, the Lemony Narrator notes that it's very important to have plenty of salt and vinegar, so the winkles taste of salt and vinegar. Because otherwise, they taste of winkles. Similarly, in Moving Pictures, the inventor of "banged grains" offers the ringing endorsement "If you put butter and salt on them, they taste like salty butter." |

The point is about the difference between having real power and only pretending to. It also means that power is anything that will solve your problem/get you what you want.("But the type of power? Doesn't matter as much as you'd think.") A line from the mentally unstable Crystal: |

Millard Fillmore's name "has become synonymous, in American history, with the term 'Millard Fillmore.'" According to another chapter, though Walter Mondale's campaign for President foundered, his running mate Geraldine A. Ferraro would become a footnote to history.

xkcd: This comic describes itself. It's a bit more complicated than most examples of this trope though as each panel doesn't describe just itself, but the whole comic. There is the Tautology Club, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. This is a very interesting example of this trope. It is true if you interpret it either as a polar or a cartesian plot. A link to a series of self-referential quotes. This strip "explains" the Carnot cycle. While the explanations for steps 2-4 are pure nonsense, the first one states that the gas becomes larger due to an increase in volume. |

Many things in The Lord of the Rings have names in Elvish. Sometimes, translations were provided. They were often arranged so as to sound like part of the name; if you translate all the Elvish, you discover characters called Greenleaf Greenleaf (Legolas) and Shipwright the Shipwright (CÃrdan), as well as a place called the plain of Battle Plain (Dagorlad). Many of the Rohirrim have names like this, but in Anglo-Saxon. Théoden just means "king", for instance. So when other characters call him "Théoden King", they're calling him "King King". In The Silmarillion, there is a region in Doriath called, well, Region. Subverted in that Region is Sindarin for "land of hollies", not for "region". |

The movie title, Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo. Aren't all gigolos male by definition? Considering how much that movie does a weird gender inversion of anatomy-naming (e.g. shenis, man-gina,) this use of the trope was probably intentional. | |

Life, the Universe and Everything: This Arthur/Ford exchange: Not to mention the title of the book itself. The book presents a greatly abridged list of rules for Brockian Ultra-Cricket (since the full set of rules is literally too large to exist in print). The final rule is: "The winning team shall be the first team that wins." Arthur finds himself in a room carved out of the inside of a mountain that looks like it was carved out of the inside of a mountain. |

Futurama: Dr Zoidberg pulls a truly spectacular five-hit combo in "Anthology of Interest I". "My next clue came at 4:15, when the clock stopped. And another came two hours later at 4:15, when I discovered the murdered body of Amy's dead, deceased corpse." And in another episode: Subverted in the episode "Crimes of the Hot", where Professor Farnsworth receives a Polluting Medal of Pollution, whose name appears to be redundant but actually refers to the fact that it's a pollution-related medal that releases pollution itself. The New Justice Team from "Less Than Hero": Also, in the first "Anthology of Interest" episode, when Fry causes a rift in the time space continuum after not falling into the cryogenic freezer: "The Deep South" has: In "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings," after Bender protests to the Robot Devil that he is unwilling to make a deal: Ranger Park, The Park Ranger from "Spanish Fry". In "Xmas Story", Leela tells Fry "I'm lonely, and you're lonely, but together, we're lonely together." The Couch Gag in one episode reads "From the Makers of Futurama". In "Bender Gets Made", The Donbot tells Bender "we'll be committing crimes that may be illegal". From "A Pharaoh To Remember": One of the intros for The Scary Door has a more subtle example. |

Magic: The Gathering: The game has some pretty hefty and thorough wording in its comprehensive rules, one of which amounts to: "the winner of the game is the sole remaining player that hasn't lost the game." Despite sounding pretty ridiculous, it actually serves to clarify that under normal tournament rules, there can't be more than one winning player or team. If something would knock out all players at the exact same time, then nobody "wins". It also serves as the default way for a winner to be declared, as there are card effects that can outright declare a player the winner, as well as card effects that can declare that a player loses. There's also the card Platinum Angel: "You can't lose the game and your opponents can't win the game." It's worded that way because if it just said "you can't lose" then your opponent could still win via a card effect that declares them the winner, and if it just said your opponents couldn't win then you could still lose by having your life reduced to 0 or having a card declare that you lose (which would cause the Angel to be removed from play and allow your opponent(s) to win). Even worse, it's necessary that the card specify "the game" and the rules clarify what the term means, as (while this should never happen in a tournament setting) there are ways in which you can be forced into playing additional games against the same opponents and there are ways in which a card played by somebody who isn't even in your game can affect it. It's still theoretically possible to start a game, play Platinum Angel at some point before that game ends, and lose the game without Platinum Angel having left play... but the text makes it as difficult to arrange as possible. This is also seen one of Doug Beyer'snote head of the Magic Creative team quotes: |

One of the most powerful darklords in Ravenloft is Azalin Rex, king of Darkon. "Azalin" is actually a distorted rendering of "king" in his ancestral language, which means he's been called "King King" ever since the first locals he met mistook his self-proclaimed title for a personal name. "Rex" also means king in Latin. | |

One issue of The Simpsons shows Bart, Milhouse, and Martin looking over all the new summer comics in the comic-book shop - and, of course, most of them feature snarling renegade "heroes" or impossibly buxom super-women on their covers. Two of the comics have the titles "Deathkill" and "Killdeath" - which qualifies as a double example. | |

There are also several times where a pothole is just the trope name, except with the caps removed, ex: Suspect Is Hatless as "suspect is hatless". Some tropers work on cleaning those up. The Citizen Kane article dubs the movie the Citizen Kane of film. YKTTW entries as well, such as "Gesturing with a Weapon: Somebody gestures at people with a weapon".

Fate/stay night: "People die if they are killed." It was supposed to be something like "People who are killed are supposed to stay dead." Makes a bit more sense in the context of the next line, "That's the way it should be." The Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] anime brought this line: "The Archer class really is made up of Archers!" Archer, who does favor twin shortswords over bow and arrow, suspects that Rin was mocking him in saying this. Also from Unlimited Blade Works is Shirou's "Just because you're correct doesn't mean you're right!", which in context is probably supposed to mean "just because you've got your facts correct doesn't mean your conclusions are right". The Japanese is more to the effect of, "Just because you're (logically) correct, doesn't mean you are (morally) right!". In context, Archer is telling Shirou to give up on his idealistic but impossible dream that will only hurt him in the future when he fails. Shirou acknowledges that it's impossible, but continues by insisting that just because it's impossible doesn't mean it isn't beautiful. |

Mojo Jojo's elliptical and recursive dialogue in The Powerpuff Girls frequently visits this territory, sometimes with an overnight bag in hand. See also this little speech from Bubbles: And then there was the time when Bubbles suffered from Easy Amnesia and thought she was Mojo... Brick: Man, beating up people for fun is really fun! The Mayor's re-election campaign slogan from "Impeach Fuzz" was simply "Vote for Mayor for Mayor!" repeated ad infinitum. |

Maryoku Yummy: In the episode "The Ninth Wish," when Shika confiscates the eponymous wish (as wishsitters are only allowed to watch eight wishes at a time), Fij Fij worries that Shika won't let it have any fun, and Ooka adds, "Or give it any hugs!" This prompts Maryoku to say, "Without fun and hugs, that poor little wish will be... without fun and hugs!" In "Scatterday," Shika reads the rules for Scatterday, the second of which is "The first one to find the Scatter Crown is the first one to find the Scatter Crown." |

In Dragon Ball: Before the hotly contested translation of "Saiyan", the race that Goku et. al belong to were often referred by the English fandom as either "the Saiyajin peoples" or "the Saiyajin race" despite the fact that "-jin" means "people/race". Also in Dragon Ball, Goku's master is known as "Master Roshi" in the English dub of the anime. Quite a tautology if you have in mind that "Roshi" means "Master" or "Teacher" in Chinese; so his name would be "Master Master." |

Justice League Unlimited: Invoked by The Question in episode "Question Authority", to prove the whole conspiracy behind Lex Luthor's presidential campaign (harkening back to the parallel universe from "A Better World", in which Luthor had become President and killed Flash as part of his plans): This makes more sense if you realize that "A is A" is the Objectivist law of identity (and the rest of it is basically just an expansion on that). The character in question (sorry) was created by an Objectivist and, in the original comics, would usually say it at least once a story, so it's more of a Shout-Out. And Galatea. |
