It means using two words concurrently that mean the same thing...
Examples:
I had a big huge nap.
She wrote a small tiny book.

Toldry, let me show you by example, rather than just plainly telling you. (Although I will do that.)
CD disk
(Because CD stands for compact disk)
ATM machine
(Because ATM stands for Automatic Teller Machine)
Many fossil-fueled power stations, made redundant by nuclear power stations, are being brought back into use in the wake of environmental concerns over the long-term safety of nuclear reactors and the problems of disposal of nuclear waste.
(Because they were shut down for the then-thought environmentally-safe nuclear stations, then brought back because they were actually safer.)
And here is the definition of
Redundant
:
1 a: exceeding what is necessary or normal : superfluous b: characterized by or containing an excess ; specifically : using more words than necessary c: characterized by similarity or repetition <a group of particularly redundant brick buildings> d: chiefly British : no longer needed for a job and hence laid off
2: profuse, lavish
3: serving as a duplicate for preventing failure of an entire system (as a spacecraft) upon failure of a single component
See, your friend's definition was accurate, for the British term, at least.
EDIT:
(Because they were shut down for the then-thought environmentally-safe nuclear stations, then brought back because they were actually safer.)
The two uses of "because" here are also redundant.

There should be a rule that if you repeat the same meme after youve heard it at least 1000 times that you should be executed.... death....
For once, I actually agree with this.

I knew you would come around. Does this mean that you and I are great friends?
