Oxymoron: a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms. Oxymoron is derived from the Greek words Oxy (meaning sharp) and Moros (meaning dull), thus making the word Oxymoron... an oxymoron itself. A fitting word I must say.
Well here are 10 oxymorons that drive me bonkers...
10. Found Missing
9. Plastic Glass
8. Uninvited Guest
7. Virtual Reality
6. Jumbo Shrimp
5. Pretty Ugly
4. Live Recording
3. Soft Rock
2. Original Copy
1. The Down Escalator
Escalating down? Hmmm.... interesting. So anytime you go on an escalator and you're going down to the next floor, just remember that you're really on a de-escalator. It's just makes me wonder how many people don't actually notice that concept. Hey Rick what do you have to say about this?
"I concur Mr. Sciolist"
*for some odd reason when i think of oxmorons, Rick Moranis pops up in my head LOL.
