Contradictionary

A word that defies the definition of a word as defined in a dictionary.
The Oxford Dictionary recently changed the definition of "literally" to include the figurative definition of "literally". There is therefore literally no definition for "literally" in the dictionary anymore. How contradictionary...

Contralto

The lowest womyn's singing voice; at the bottom of their range, they sound almost like men, often leading to people mistaking them for men on the radio, telephone, or wherever.

The alto range, which is below soprano, is really an easy combination of the mezzo-soprano range and the contralto range; the mezzo-soprano is the medium female voice and therefore the higher of the two.
The contralto voice is a pretty rare voice. And there is little work that was written specifically for the contralto. Countertenors, mezzo-sopranos, and often tenors, baritones, and basses take the roles that were written for them.

Marian Anderson and Kathleen Ferrier were legendary operatic contraltos in their day.

Toni Braxton is a famous popular music contralto. As are Brandy, Alicia Keyes, Cher, and Blu Cantrell, among others.

contra dancing

a widely unknown type of community folk dance (at least among children/teenagers).

Simply explained as similar to square dancing, but the couples are arranged in lines. It's quite fun, actually, but no one would know it because no one knows of it.

Moves done throughout the dance include the do-si-do, hey, swing, circle to the left/right, star left/right, gypsy, ladies chain/curtesy turn, right-and-left through, promenade, etc.
Do you know what contra dancing is?

Uh... no?

No one does.

Contradiction

Lying. Saying something and doing the opposite.
Do as I say, not as I do because the shit's so deep you can't run away.

I beg to differ. On the contrary, I agree with every word that you say.

Talk is cheap and lies are expensive.

My wallet's fat and so is my head.

Hit and run and then I'll hit you again.

I'm a smart ass but I'm playing dumb.

...

I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right
