I have see a triple oxy-moron before! Look at this one for a company name:

Liberty Tax Services

It just doesn't get better than that!

An 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.
