List of Oxymorons

What is an Oxymoron ?

If two words contradict each other, this is an oxymoron. Oxymorons are most often used in a sarcastic way, look at these examples :

End of infinity
Almost limitless
A wise fool
Same difference
Bittersweet
Minor miracle
Definitely maybe
Synthetic natural fibre
Still wind
Other me
Genuine imitation
Precise estimate
Living dead
Poor Millionaire
Constant variable


There are also humorous oxymorons, what do you think of the following :

Intelligent footballer
Genuine journalist
Two solipsists
Miltary Intelligence
Microsoft Works
Reliable computer
Customer Services
Aeroplane food
London Transport
Train Timetable
Honest politician
Modern Art

Career Management:

unless you're in the category of an athlete or entertainer worth millions of dollars, "career management" is an illusion and not even a good one.  the average person spends more time planning a two week vacation and gets about as much help

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

Awesome blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I'm planning to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm completely confused .. Any tips? Appreciate it!

In this grand pattern of things you actually receive  a B- just for effort. Where exactly you lost me ended up being in all the particulars. As people say, the devil is in the details... And that could not be much more true here. Having said that, allow me say to you just what exactly did deliver the results. Your authoring is really engaging and that is probably the reason why I am taking the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, despite the fact that I can easily see the leaps in logic you make, I am not necessarily certain of how you appear to unite your points which inturn produce the actual final result. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your position but trust in the future you actually connect your dots better.

A lot of the things you say is astonishingly accurate and it makes me wonder why I hadn't looked at this in this light previously. This particular article truly did turn the light on for me as far as this particular subject matter goes. But there is just one position I am not necessarily too cozy with and whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the actual main idea of your issue, let me see what the rest of the readers have to say.Very well done.

Hi there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd certainly appreciate it.

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Please let me know if you're looking for a article author for your weblog. You have some really good posts and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd really like to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please send me an email if interested. Thank you!
