"moose dishes" "which my wife cannot abide" I am on a diet: NO MOOSE FOR ME She Who Must Be Obeyed I was thinking that "moose Dishes" was a Tautology, so I looked the word up ehre it is: The use of obfuscating, tumid linguistic constructions in vocally or graphically expressed communications (as in that phrase, which could more simply be expressed as "being longwinded") is also a form of redundancy, with several names. Two rather formal names for it are prolixity and logorrhea. It is often done with manipulative intent, e.g. to confuse and mislead the audience, to disguise the actual nature of a position or fact, or to persuade in politics or religion. In such cases it is often also fallacious. en.wikipedia.org
