Oxy what?
An oxymoron is a curious combination of contradictory or incongruous words, such as 'cruel kindness' or 'jumbo shrimp' (jumbo means 'large' while shrimp means 'small'). It is a literary figure of speech in which opposite or contradictory words, terms, phrases, or ideas are combined to create a rhetorical effect by paradoxical means.
We are all oxymorons at one time or another. We are defined by this term more often than we care to know. Single parent. Smart ass. Act naturally. Amateur expert. Almost done. Ladies' man. Mournful optimist. Virgin birth. Oh, lots of others.
I am an oxymoron. Being that, I guess, is better than being just a plain moron.
Where do you want to go?
