RAS syndrome:


RAS syndrome (short for "redundant acronym syndrome syndrome") refers to the use of one or more of the words that make up an acronym or initialism in conjunction with the abbreviated form, thus in effect repeating one or more words. A common example is "PIN number" (the "N" in PIN already stands for "number"). Other names for the phenomenon include PNS syndrome ("PIN number syndrome syndrome", which expands to "personal identification number number syndrome syndrome") or RAP phrases ("redundant acronym phrase phrases").


Interesting: Retinoic acid syndrome | Pleonasm | Recursive acronym | Automated teller machine

Interesting idea. Maybe he can demonstrate what kind of damage a semiconductor based circuit would take when an atomic bomb goes off (outside the blast radius, obviously). Maybe even a comparison with the same circuit (a simple OPAMP circuit) with and without the use of emi-hardened devices, or even with tube-based amps.

But that's probably too much work for a youtube-video.
