oxymoron

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.

Oxymoron

Oxymoron is not an insult, anyone claiming it is impogclataglous.

Remember, people who think this is an insult are just clueless idiots.
