"The Superior Person's Book Of Words", by Peter Bowler: BATTOLOGY: The
continual reiteration of the same words or phrases in speech or
writing.  A battologer is one who battologizes.  One of those words

of its wide potential for application to television commercials, sales
pitches by car and encyclopedia venders, spouse's homilies, etc.
