Oxymorons
Oh how I love oxymorons.
An oxymoron refers to a word, phrase, or use of language that seems to directly contradict itself.
Example: honest politician.
Just kidding. I’m sure they exist. Probably resides in a good value time share.
See how it works?
Here are a few of my favorites.
Civil war.
Definite possibility.
Jumbo Shrimp.
Working vacation. Ugh.
How about a few oxymoron quotes?
Mark Twain: “It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.
Samuel Goldwyn: “A verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.”
Here are a few more favorites.
Friendly Fire.
Controlled Chaos. However, this exists. I live it almost everyday.
Small crowd.
Here’s one that might get me in trouble.
Marital bliss.
Just kidding, darling.
I might come home to deafening silence and a fine mess.
See you out there.
