How about someone who “was stood standing”? 
I've recently heard people say "killed to death" & "murdered to death". 
"Killed to death" was a phrase used on Top Gear by Clarkson to describe dangerous stunts. I would blame him for your discomfort. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

People who, when asked what they would like in a coffee shop, reply with "Can I get...".
No, you can't get it. That's why they asked you what you want to drink - they get it for you. That's their job. Your job is to say "Please may I have..." and then pay for it. It could hardly be more simple.

And / is either solidus or stroke. Slash is (or was) in G’n’R.
As to J77’s comment, a small battery-powered jammer was a delight to maintain quietness in coaches/train carriages. Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
