Quote from: Rawrlolsauce! on May 24, 2009, 11:30:57 PMAn oxymoron is two words that contradict each other. As stated earlier, Jumbo Shrimp is a great example. Jumbo is the adjective meaning "large", and Shrimp is a small sea creature. Large and small are opposites, therefore it is an oxymoron.Another example is "Pretty Ugly". Pretty is the opposite of Ugly, therefore that is an oxymoron.My Favorite oxymoronsGovernment IntelligenceGood MorningRap ArtistCreationist scholar.
