Without verbiage, an Oxymoron is a collection of words that seem to contradict itself.

"Mandatory option", "push-me" "pull-you" "Good grief!"

The word oxymoron is itself "oxymoronic" because it is formed from two Greek roots of opposite meaning, oxys meaning "sharp, or keen," and moros "foolish," the same root that gives us the word moron.

Having said that, the thread is a bit of fun using an oxymoron as your reply. So add your own oxymoron or one you know of in your reply.

Just to whet your appetite here are some common ones below:

Microsoft Works
military intelligence
jumbo shrimp
Advanced BASIC
tragic comedy
unbiased opinion
virtual reality

Your IT!
