In fact, in re some of the 'annoying misuses of language' threads which proliferate around here: one which has always irritated me immeasurably is such usages as "Did you play Rugby or Football at your school?" ~~~ 'Rugby' *is* a form of 'football' FFS, so the usage is both tautologous and meaningless.
