  2. Oxymoron is considered a satrical definition of a phrase.

    The most common being

    Military Intellegence

    (see, thinking isn't allowed in the Army)

    Or

    Homeschool Education

    (see, no one thinks you can learn anything at home)

    Or Christain Scientist

    (see, since you believe the world is 6,000 years old and Adam rode in Dinos that you aren't a credible scientist)

    Oyxmoron is a phrase or compound concept that is hard to believe based upon the views we have of that concept.

    Honest Politican

    That's an oxymoron

    We condsider most to be totally dishonest, selfish and out for themselves.

    Truthful Lawyer

    We consider most of them to play with words to suit their own benefit and those whome they represent.

    Unbiased News Reporting

    Like Fox tells it like it truly is and so does the Washington Post.  Everyone has an agenda.

    Fair Trial

    Yea right.  If the glove does not fit you must aquit.

    Impartial Jury

    Everyone has an agenda

  3. An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two contradictory terms.  For example, "rainy desert" would be an oxymoron because deserts are dry and get very little rain.

  4. an example is

    jumbo shrimp or pretty ugly or smart idiot

  5. an Oxymoron is a figure of speech that is composed of two words that contradict each other. For example- she's "pretty ugly". the meaning is, she's very ugly but the oxymoron is pretty and ugly, they contradict each other.

  6. It actually means smart stupid. Usually directed at someone or something. Is comonly used as a figure of speech. When two things are so contradictory they use this term.

  7. Oxymoron...

    Jumbo Shrimp.

    Jumbo means 'big' and shrimp is like 'small'.

    Sohpomore.

    Latin words for:

    Sohpo means: 'Wise'

    More means: 'Fool'

    So wise fool is oximoron because a fool is suppose to know absolutely nothing.

    Pretty Ugly

    Well, you can see it right there...

    So yeah, its basically two words together that are opposite of each other. =]
