prolagus commented on the word boom pole
The word boom (in the microphone sense of term) apparently comes from Dutch and it means "beam" or "pole". So a boom pole is a beam beam, a pole pole, a boom boom.
I'm sure there's a lovely Wordnik list for this, probably one where chai tea, PIN number and ATM machine are also being safely stored.
