here's a bit of ambiguous redundancy for ya:

parisology - the use of equivocal or ambiguous words
perissology - superfluity of words : PLEONASM

yet there is no connection made between these words by OED or W3.

looking at the etymologies:
Greek parisos almost equal, evenly balanced
Greek perissologos speaking too much

interesting, but what's this got to do with the question to hand?
Hence perissological a. (rare), ‘redundant in words’ (Webster 1828).

--------------

recall that Jesse S. claimed that the OED would be taking a closer look at 'net and usegroups for usable citations? check this out from a June draft revision:

1999 Pagano Fallacy Game in talk.origins (Usenet newsgroup) 2 Sept., The Amphiboly Category... For excellence in the area of parisology.
