"Chai" means "tea", so "Chai Tea" is "Tea Tea".

"ATM" means "Automatic Teller Machine", so "ATM Machine" is "Automatic Teller Machine Machine".

Both are mentioned in the animated movie "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse".

Actually, in English, Chai does not mean tea, it means a specific flavor of tea. If you don't believe me, try ordering some Earl Grey Chai, see what happens.

Except places are now offering Chai Latte Coffee so if you don't specifically order Chai Tea Latte, you could get some thing totally different than expected. I learned this the hard way.
