An English professor told his class that they wouldn't be meeting for a few weeks.

"I don't want you to worry," said the professor, "but I'm going to be out for a while. My doctor found some tumorous neoplasm on a CAT scan and wants me to have it removed before it develops into cancer."

The students started muttering, but one of the snarky pre-med students in the back of the classroom raised his hand. "Professor, that was redundant. Neoplasm and tumors are the same thing. I doubt any doctor would have called it 'tumorous neoplasm.'"

The English professor smirked. "You're right.

I just always wanted to make a [pleonasm](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleonasm) out of 'neoplasm.'"
