Favorite Oxymorons

Biggie Smalls?

 

"ask a question"

well no shyt, youre not gonna ask an answer.

 

"...go straight down Montrose"

 

haha no that's not really an oxymoron at all.

"BBS HANGOUT"

 

quantitative easing

 

I would disagree with this one. I know most people say "same difference" when comparing TWO things, but when used properly, that phrase is NOT an oxymoron:

Say you have 4 items we will call A, B, C, and D.

If you compare A to B, and get the difference, there's ONE difference. Set it aside. Then, if you compare C to D, and get that difference, there's ANOTHER difference.

Compare ONE to ANOTHER, and if they are the same, then you have the "same difference." If ONE is not the same as ANOTHER, then we do not have the SAME DIFFERENCE, but it is a negated phrase.

"Same Difference" is not an oxymoron.

 

I fixed it for ya.

It makes more sense this way (with numbers)

 

oxymoron - A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist



Just for reference since some don't seem to get it..

 

When used properly is the key. Most times I hear it used it is used improperly.

 

"Understanding Women"

 

Glad you posted this because many in here don't seem to grasp what it is.
