¿Question #5201?
puffinge: Is lifeless corpse redundant? What other two-word phrases are redundant in the same way?

Skwib: Urine-soaked BackAlley (I made "Back Alley" one word to make this work)
the manatee: Free gift.
PsyJam: oh
Spirit of 70: No. You need to know that the corpse isn't a zombie, which would be a lively corpse.
Felimid: Military intelligence. Oh, wait, that's an contradiction in terms, not redundant.
vandemonium: Dead corpse.
kathleenryan: yes. None come to mind right now, I'll get back to you.
mbrna: stupid bush
pikkusiili2000: green lettuce (even the red lettuce is green)
Wes Hope: yes
ironsizide: yes. Kmart fashion.
DHEK: Yes that's redundant. Dead body. Free gift. Heavy downpour.
arkestra: Silly girl.
POvidiusNaso: living being. silly clown. huge giant. naked flesh.
aleo09: yes.
aramis: Nope. Tho' I've not seen any non-lifeless corpses, they are rumored to exist: undead.
MightyMike: useful bgg-question
diehard4life: dishonest politician
berserkley: innocent victim, Army Intelligence
bigbadsteve: inane geekquestion
arkibet: cleverly witty
jasta6: Good call, never thought of that one............... What about Hell Fire!?...................................
brainrob: Redundant to the previous owner, but not to those who grieve. Stay puff.
puffinge: stupid skelebone. So there!
_Kael_: yes. Nice chick.
vampywife: It is kind-of redundant, but if it's just after death, the corpse still has some nerve functioning for just a short time, so it's not always so.
xlorp: bare naked
Big Bad Lex: Since when has lifeless corpse been a phrase?
RyanMC: Yes, Brainless-Pugginge (totally kidding :) )
confuse_a_cat: No, a lifeless corpse is a lot less scary than an animated corpse.
kevinwho: Deadbeat dad. When I see a dad I know chasing after his 2 little kids, I tell him I think he looks beat, and he tells me he is dead on his feet. Dead, beat, dad.
Platinum Dragon: Not in a world where there are zombies.
Loquutus: Good question.
scriptorum: No, it's just being clear. You wouldn't want to discover later on that the corpse was animated and dancing around in your kitchen, so calling it lifeless pretty much rules out that concern. As for your second question, dah ... yawn ... zz....
ssmooth: Is "lifeless corpse" a common phrase? I can't remember ever hearing it used.
erli: Dead End
Randy Cox: Past history. ASL torture. SALT Talks. Hot Water Heater (that's 3 words). Stupid Republican. :)
CortexBomb: I would say so, unless you're talking about zombie movies. And too many to mention...
jttm: Clever Geekquestions.
heli: military muddle
sos1: Idiot congressman. ("Reader, suppose you are a member of Congress. And suppose you are an idiot. But I repeat myself." -Mark Twain)
skelebone: Moronic puffin?
Lord_Prussian: Yes and "silly geekquestion"
CDRodeffer: Yes, "lifeless corpse" is repetitively redundant, almost as much so as VIN number.
chaddyboy_2000: Brainless Puffinge.
