A contradiction is two propositions used in combination where one makes the other impossible. It is something that is A and non-A at the same time. A contradiction, therefore, cannot exist in reality, since existence exists (whereas a contradiction could not possibly exist). In the cognitive process, reaching a contradiction as a conclusion or evaluation of reality is proof of an error in one's thinking.
A square circle is a contradiction in terms. It cannot even be imagined.
"Anyone who denies the law of non-contradiction should be beaten and burned until he admits that to be beaten is not the same as not to be beaten, and to be burned is not the same as not to be burned." (Avicenna, Medieval Philosopher)

Contradictions: That chick is so hot, but ugly.
That game was cool, but gay.
I'm the nicest person you'll ever meet, but ask me for money, I'll slaughter you.

Get the contradiction mug.
Says: "I'm cutting back on homework."
The contradiction: Gives hours of homework and bitches when you still try to do it, in class, but nonetheless you are still trying to do it.
