fashion oxymoron

when someone wears clothing in a way that, by definition, doesn't go together

I saw this guy walking across the quad and he was sagging his skinny jeans.

How can you sag skinny jeans? That's a fashion oxymoron.

oxymoron

A contradiction in terms. Contrary to what some people will tell you, from Limerick to Florida, it does NOT mean a stupid ox. Derived instead from the Greek words oxy (sharp) and moros (dull).

Examples of oxymorons:

sunny night
military intelligence
compassionate conservative
ethical landlord
honest politician
open-minded altie
Christian Democrat
to appear invisible
deafening silence
friendly fire
charm offensive
civil war

criminal justice oxymoron

The term which states that "criminal justice" are two words which contradict one another.

Justice cannot, and must not be, criminal. To call that academic field CRIMINAL JUSTICE insinuates that the justice is criminal, therefore unfair, in fact, law-breaking. The term CRIMINAL JUSTICE is insane. That's why I call it the "criminal justice oxymoron." Anyone in their right (correct) mind will vote to replace that term with, for example, SOCIAL JUSTICE.
