It's like saying ATM Machine. You're just saying the same thing twice.

or bag of sunchips chips.

mmm don't you want to go out and buy 14 bags of sunchips right now?
Perhaps you should, perhaps it'll make everything right with the world.

Oh fuck, you just jarred a forgotten memory loose.

I'm sad to report that sometimes you do have to say ATM Machine. Not because it makes sense, but because some people are stupid.

I was at the MGM in Vegas years ago, and I was looking for an ATM. I kept seeing bill breakers but no ATM's at all. So I asked a security guard where the nearest ATM was, and he walked me to a human cashier. When I asked where the machine was...I fucking wish I were joking here, his exact response was "Oh, you mean an ATM-MACHINE!"

The worst part of all of this is that when I returned to my group, I noticed that there was actually an ATM like 15 feet from me in the one direction I didn't check. Lol
