That reminds me that some people's favourite gear grinder is the term "PIN number".

I know why that is, but, dammit, adding the "number" just flows better.

Same thing with ATM Machine.  The "Machine" is redundant, but still...

Around here, we solve that problem by referring to them as TYME Machines.

Don't ask someone unfamiliar where you can find a "TYME" machine then.  They may point you towards the closest mental institution...
