An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms. Oxymorons appear in a variety of contexts, including inadvertent errors such as ground pilot and literary oxymorons crafted to reveal a paradox.
Uttara Gupta: Hahahaha! Let me repeat myself, it's MY wall!
Rohan: Thats an oxymoron
As you might notice the usage of MY, which is a form of the possessive case of I used as an attributive adjective, with Wall which refers to the very public Facebook wall is quite moronic and in this case oxymornonic.
An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory or opposing terms appear in conjuction. The common oxymoron phrase is a combination of an adjective proceeded by a noun with contrasting meanings. They may be used to empahsize a certain phrase, or to create a verbally puzzling, and therefore enganging effect.
Some examples of oxymoron, such as, but not limited to, are:
Only choice, cold sweat, grounders in space, slow burn, painfully beautiful, sweet agony, amongst others.
The examples above were taken from a romantic context, more concretely fromThe 100, when Clarke and Bellamy tacitly professed their love for each other, but there are tons of more examples.
